Major brands fail to pay workers when factories shut
Fashion brands including Marks and Spencer, Next and Zara have refused to pay workers following factory closures, according to not-for-profit group Labour Behind the Label (LBL). The organisation said that customers in the UK and other countries have found notes inside garments reading, “I made the item you are about to buy, but I didn’t get paid for it”. The messages are from workers in Cambodia, Indonesia and Turkey who claim that they are owed money after the factories in which they worked closed between 2012 and 2016, allegedly after major buyers stopped orders.
