Only 1% of Workers at This Factory Made What Nike Says Is Typical
Nike has made an expansive effort to convince consumers, investors and others that it is improving the lives of factory workers who make its products, not exploiting them. A rare view of wages at one Cambodian factory tests this claim.
Clean Clothes CampaignThe Adidas owns the reality documentary by the Yes Men came to Cambodia, the country where much of its footage was filmed. There were many very engaged questions from the audience - and no adidas has still not paid the Cambodian workers from the Hulu garment factory. Read more & send an e-mail on payyourworkers.org/hulu.

If you're not paying your workers, we'll follow you around the world. Workers in El Salvador who used to make clothes for cycling brand Specialized lost their jobs & despite promises to at least do some justice by the workers, Specialized has not paid a cent! So when Specialized Vice President Bob Margevicius showed up to speak at the Taipei Cycle show, Clean Clothes Campaign Taiwan was there as well to confront him. We'll say it wherever you don't want to hear it, Specialized: #PayYourWorkers

3️⃣ El problema es claro: Adidas sigue sin pagar las indemnizaciones a las trabajadoras de Hulu Garment y se niega a firmar el acuerdo #PayYourWorkers. A pesar de la presión, la marca sigue ignorando la demanda.
2️⃣ La película documenta una acción de la coalición #PayYourWorkers, formada por más de 285 sindicatos y organizaciones de derechos laborales, junto a los Yes Men. Su objetivo: conseguir que Adidas pague lo que debe.
5 years on, there is still no brand willing to sign on to an agreement which ensures that garment workers are never again left penniless when the unexpected happened. The lack of accountability is baffling. We say it again: #PayYourWorkers

Five Years on from the Pandemic: How Adidas Fooled Union Negotiators | Nonprofit
On 2 March 2020, as the Covid-19 pandemic hit Cambodia, the entire workforce of the Hulu Garment factory was sent home in a lockdown. While Cambodian law specified that during the pandemic factories had to pay workers 40% of their wages, the factory initially let workers fend for themselves. Late in April, workers were summoned to the factory to finally sign their payslips, under which the factory hid a sentence saying the workers were resigning.
Unions and labour rights organisations worked together to set up a solution that would hold brands accountable to ensure that their workers would be paid during future crises, such as the climate crisis workers are already on the frontlines of.
We turned to many brands but no one showed interest. The unions attempted to engage with adidas, which they felt could be the first signatory of such an agreement. But adidas kept them on a leash, and wasted their time. (2/3)
The pandemic is a time many of us would rather forget, but we can’t forget about the thousands of garment workers who are still feeling the fallout.
This week marks 5 years since the pandemic was declared. Garment workers were among those who paid the highest price. While brands pulled orders to save their profits, workers were left without wages or jobs. Many of them are still fighting for the wages or severance they didn't receive during this time of crisis.
