Increasingly, companies are branding themselves as “eco-friendly”, “sustainable”, and “woke”. This is a testament to the growing power of consumers who are voting with their dollars and supporting businesses they believe are not harming people or the planet. Another way consumers are exercising their power is in direct solidarity with workers when there is corporate misconduct or abuse. Specialized, the cycling company, likes to position itself as a green company, but there is nothing green about the fact that workers who make Specialized clothing are being cheated out of wages. Tell Specialized: Pay workers the wages they are owed Worker rights is one of the core values in achieving a sustainable green economy. In fact, workplace fairness emerged as a top issue in shareholder resolutions in the growing $8.4 trillion USD in responsible investment. Yet for the 35 million low-wage garment workers in the United States and around the world, wage theft is a prevalent experience. In the case of the APS factory workers, who produced apparel for Specialized, they are owed $2.1 million USD. |
