When workers, supported by their unions, demand a workplace free from #GBVH that is backed by binding commitments from brand customers, a transformative program is possible.
Good to see this finally happening - too many companies continue to hide behind social audits to make the case that they can meet their human rights obligations *and* operate in an environment of state-sponsored forced labor.

ALT Header of the WSR Network's newsletter with the date "Fall 2024 Roundup" written over a picture of a man working in a dairy barn with his arm up on a rail half looking at the camera. A group of cows crowd him out in the foreground and it really underscores visually just how big cows are compared to workers.
Great news! Dr. Mason was an early supporter of the @FairFoodProgram for the meaningful ways it changes the economics of farm labor & protects workers.
Dr. Patrick L. Mason, Chair and professor of economics at UMass has been awarded the Samuel Z. Westerfield Award. umass.edu/economics/patrick-…
The experience of dairy workers in the #MilkWithDignity program is entirely different than the world outside the program who routinely experience "poor wages, unsafe working conditions, inadequate housing, & discrimination."
This is the difference that WSR makes.
“Out of over 200 migrant dairy workers surveyed in Vermont this year, 77% say they have suffered an accident or injury at work and 87% make lower than the minimum wage"
