Action Update: Volume 41

Find out what Labour Behind the Label have been up to in our bi-annual Action Update.

Winter is nature’s way of telling us we need to seek warmth, celebrate what we have and come together to counter the darkness of dwindling daylight. And this edition of the Action Update starts with a really significant cause for celebration: after years of fighting for justice, the Wages Not Warrants campaign has been won! The charges against workers have been dropped – and you were all part of making this happen.

We also met with an old friend from Cambodia; Mr Khun Tharo visited the UK to tell us more about the threats to his work defending civil society and worker’s rights. Speaking of threats to unionising, we’ve also got a case from Pakistan you need to know about. From protests at London Fashion Week to petitions at Number 10, we’ve been using every opportunity we can to raise workers’ demands, and we will keep doing so, regardless of seasons, until we transform the garment industry. Justice is always in fashion.
