Hotter workplaces
Increased (unpaid) illness
Work disruptions
Those are just a few ways the climate crisis is an urgent labor issue.

Adidas shareholders are unhappy because their dividends are not as high as expected. However, garment workers who haven't been paid what they're owed are even more unhappy. That's why workers & activists around the world tell @adidas today: #PayYourWorkers cleanclothes.org/news/2023/a…

Today, Adidas shareholders will have a meeting. It seems they will count the coffers of profits they get by steals from its workers and violating labor rights.

As @FIFAWorldCup draws to a close, the workers making footballs & shirts for FIFA sponsor adidas still wait to be paid. Workers in adidas’ supply chain face wage theft because adidas rather invests in football than ensuring workers’ rights. Email @adidas: adidasSTEALS.com/take-action

So happy this finally changing! 👉"While neighbouring Bangladesh got into gear after the Rana Plaza collapse in April 2013 that cost the lives of more than 1,100 garment workers, Pakistan continued with an ‘audit and ignore’ system of factory inspections." fashionunited.ie/news/busine…

This week worker representatives @zehra1akahn, @NasirMansoor1 & Seemi Mustafa inform EU policy-makers about working conditions in Pakistan's garment industry. They talked with @spietikainen, @saskiabricmont & Alice Kuhnke about the need for strong laws to protect workers' rights.

Human Rights Due Diligence legislation is one of the most critical issues in European politics right now. Garment workers and union leaders from Pakistan are calling for large companies to be required by EU law to adhere to human rights principles in their supply chains.

Football teams who won the pools are gearing up for the next round of @FIFAWorldCup today. Meanwhile, workers still lose out. @adidas pours millions into FIFA, but workers making its World Cup merchandise face union-busting & underpayment. adidasSTEALS.com/take-action #PayYourWorkers

Sacked, then starving. Workers making @FIFAWorldCup gear for @adidas are punished for standing up for their rights. It’s the height of hypocrisy for brands to condemn migrant worker abuses while turning a blind eye to their own garment workers’ suffering shorturl.at/dgoQ2
