Shortage Of Workers In Production And Supply Chain Of European Retail Brands

< p > recently, < a href= "http://cailiao.sjfzxm.com/Matertial/show/default.aspx" > labor human rights organization < /a > Labour Behind the Label released the report entitled "customized wages (Tailored Wages)", which carried out a survey of the wage payment of garment workers for 40 famous European fashion and sports apparel brands.

The report shows that European retailers include Debenhams, Matalan and North Face because of the shortage of workers in the supply chain due to the lack of basic wages for workers in processing factories.

< p > it is reported that although half of the surveyed brands have expressly expressed wages in their specifications to meet the basic needs of workers, only 4 brands (Inditex, Marks & Spencers, Switcher and Tchibo) can clearly explain the current implementation of this specification.

However, all brands surveyed did not fully pay the basic wage of garment workers.

Anna, the author of the report, said: "obtaining basic wages is the human rights of workers, but it is shocking that none of the 40 well-known European enterprises has done so in P Anna.

Although these brands have shown increasing importance to the basic life of workers on many occasions, they have not really taken action.

Most disappointing is that most commitments are limited to corporate norms and corporate social responsibility brochures.

Millions of people around the world depend on the garment industry to survive. Therefore, it is very important for the brand to deliver paper commitments and take immediate measures to pay basic wages to workers. "

< p > survey report emphasizes that < a href= "http://cailiao.sjfzxm.com/Matertial/show/default.aspx" > a few brands < /a > has implemented some innovative measures, such as Switcher, a Swiss leisure wear brand Switcher, which mainly produces T-shirts, has set up a fund. Besides paying factory expenses, it has paid an additional 1% of the cost to direct the money into the workers' account. The Spanish retail giant Inditex has also worked with the global Federation of trade unions to solve the problem of wages.

Anna said, "although the starting point of these innovative methods is good, they are all in the pilot stage, and I am afraid the workers will not be able to wait that long."

< p > in Kampuchea and other important garment manufacturing countries, the controversy over the wage of garment workers is continuing.

At present, clothing and shoemaking workers in Kampuchea earn $100 a month, and workers hope that the minimum wage can be raised to $160 per month.

"The role of the company is very important in order to solve the problem of shortage of workers in the supply chain, because the company has the ability to change the price and procurement methods to ensure that the garment workers' < a href=" http://fz.sjfzxm.com/ "> /a > workers need to pay their wages to maintain their basic standard of living," said P, director of the labor human rights organization.
