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

There is lots going on in this action update. Worker organising in Leicester became public in October when 500 workers joined a rally calling for orders and fashion brands to support decent work. We’ve been campaigning also in support of workers in Thailand who are taking Tesco and social auditors Intertek to court, and the Wai Full workers in Cambodia fighting for their pay. Read about solidarity with Sri Lanka and our new report on Pakistan, just out.

Impact Report 2020/21

This report looks at the impact that Labour Behind the Label has had during the financial year 2020/21. 

A great deal of our work shifted to focus on the appalling negative impacts of Covid-19 – the virus itself as well as the resultant loss of wages, jobs, benefits and ongoing instability in the garment industry. We held big campaigns and lobbied brands to act. 

As we are responding to the ongoing Covid-19 crisis, worked on new and emerging human rights violations in the garment industry.

There is unquestionable evidence that the fashion industry is profiting from and complicit in Uyghur forced labour in the Xinjiang region of China. We reponded to the military coup in Myanmar in February 2021, by calling on brands to publicly condemn the coup.

We continued to campaign for greater transparency in the garment industry, and for living wages. We undertook 16 solidarity cases, and saw worker wins in Thailand, Romania and Myanmar.
