COVID-19 isn't an excuse to cheat garment workers. Tell retailers to pay up now!

Friend,

The pandemic has caused enough hardships on its own. We don’t need multinational corporations making people’s situations worse, but that’s what is happening in the apparel industry.

COVID-19 brought apparel supply chains to a halt, and corporations pushed the problem down the supply chain. Garment workers and local suppliers are bearing most of the financial burden while multibillion dollar corporations still pay out millions in dividends and top executive salaries.

Millions of garment workers around the world are out of work, risking starvation. AND some are even being denied wages for work they completed months ago.

Big, multimillion-dollar corporations, like Walmart, Kohl’s, and The Children’s Place, are refusing to pay for their clothes that workers already made.

Even though cloth had been purchased, and the work was in production or even finished, corporations left workers and suppliers out to dry, resulting in $40 billion owed to suppliers.

Join us in calling on these eight companies to pay for their cancelled orders: Walmart, Kohl's, The Children's Place, Ross, Sears, JC Penney, TJ Maxx, and Urban Outfitters.
