Allies have come together across the world to mourn Pushpalatha, a Sri Lankan garment worker at a Brandix factory & to demand justice for her death. Fashion brands like Victorias Secret must take responsibility to ensure women workers are safe in the factories that make their products.

Workers who are organizing together in the Asia Floor Wage Alliance have been saying for years that Nike needs to raise wages. A new investigation by @propublica.org @oregonian.com shows that Nike's claims about wages don't stand up to scrutiny.

We traveled to Nike’s second-largest hub and interviewed 100 workers, none of whom said they earned anywhere near 1.9 times the local minimum wage, the pay rate the company has cited as its global average over the years. With @oregonian.com

We published something on anxiety.eco today that doesn't really exist anywhere else: a comprehensive list of fashion's billionaires, tracking their estimated $1.5 trillion in net worth against the earnings of garment workers in the industry's supply chain. The list: www.anxiety.eco/p/the-ultra-...

The Ultra-Rich List: Fashion’s biggest problem is billionaires. Here are all their names

Bernard Arnault's fortune would take one garment worker on a typical salary 173 million years to earn. He’s only one of more than 80 billionaires on our first big list.

Our partners at the Caesar Apparels (Extension) Workers’ Union formed a union that includes nearly 100% of their garment factory's workers, even in the most difficult of circumstances. What an inspiration! 👏🏽 #WorkerRights #Solidarity #1u
