Kurzbeschreibung:
With new global processes affecting the fashion industry at a global level, everything has changed in the Italian fashion industry, especially since the 1980s. Antonella Ceccagno investigates and addresses three major global shifts in the fashion industry: the rise of low labor cost competitors, the restructuring of the distribution chain, and the emergence of a global fast fashion.
Moreover, and crucially, she shows that over the last 30 years, Italian immigration laws have been clearly and overtly devised with the aim of helping the Italian industrial system to find cheap labor. These laws were also crucial in increasing migrants’ vulnerability and forging divisions and stratification among migrants and within migrants sharing the same national background.

Kurzbeschreibung:

Investigations have shown low wages, excessive hours and harassment of workers to have been commonplace in factories in Asia supplying George. Asda’s response to these criticisms has been to trumpet a showcase project to improve productivity in four Bangladeshi factories where it says workers’ pay and conditions have improved. However, an ActionAid investigation into these factories reveals that, far from demonstrating best practice, conditions for workers remain unacceptable, with poverty wages, unreasonable hours and physical abuse of workers still taking place.  Read ActionAid's latest report on ASDA George by downloading the pdf below.

Kurzbeschreibung:

Asda has its sights trained on becoming Britain’s number one cheap fashion retailer. But while the company tries leaping ahead of its rivals on the high street, it’s falling behind in its efforts to improve conditions for women workers in poor countries, whose wages are keeping them trapped in poverty.
New research by ActionAid shows that it doesn’t have to be this way. If Asda paid just two pence extra on each t-shirt it buys from India, the women who make them could be paid a living wage.  ActionAid's report on ASDA, published in 2010, explores these issues in depth.  Download the full report using the link below and ask ASDA to take action by clicking here.
