📣60+ European and French NGOs call on @ec.europa.eu to support a draft French law that seeks to rein in the most harmful commercial practices in the fashion sector - and not to hamper it.

The Omnibus is a serious setback in the fight against forced labour and a letdown for workers around the world. By dismantling key protections in the #CSDDD, it sends a dangerous signal to the world—that corporate interests take precedence over human rights.

And despite the EU watchdog's findings, the European Council and Parliament have doubled down, sidelining the calls from civil society, academia, legal experts and progressive business.

We are deeply disappointed with this outcome.

Brands should should proactively check whether their factories are mitigating heat effects for workers. The logical vehicle for this would be the Accord.

Clean Clothes Campaign @cleanclothes.bsky.social · Dec 3
Furthermore, workers often do not have enough breaks or access to clean water to be able to withstand the heat.
Brands sourcing from Pakistan are responsible to ensure that their workers are not risking their lives or health at work.

With temperatures reaching over 40C in the hottest time of year, workers continue working in factories and mills that are not adapted to ensure workers' health is protected: “Many garment units are built like sealed boxes. The priority is to protect the product, not the people who stitch it.”

Climate Rights International today released an important report about the effect of heat on workers in Pakistani factories and mills. Brands sourcing from the factories where the researchers collected their data include H&M, Inditex, GAP, MANGO, ASOS, C&A, NA-KD, NEXT, IKEA.

In @amnesty.org's Stitched-Up report the establishment of a union & collective bargaining agreement in a Sri Lankan NEXT factory is described as a hard won workers' success. Yet in May 2025 the factory suddenly closed without consulting the union or respecting the agreement. We see union busting!

To stop the abuse, tick-box audits of factory conditions aren't enough. We need:
✔Supply-chain transparency
✔Published audits
✔Sourcing practices that centre workers' rights

✊ Today workers across Europe are taking action against Amazon.

❌ Amazon exploits its workers
❌ Has close ties with the Israeli military
❌ Is a monopolist

As the company is under intense scrutiny, it has ramped up its lobby power in the EU 🧵
