ASICS has been standing by idly while one of its suppliers in Cambodia jailed a worker leader on fake charges & refused to compensate him or let him back to his original job.
The one promise they made, that he would get his old job back, was broken immediately.

ASICS seems to think it is OK to jail a worker for starting a union & that it can get away with not compensating that worker for violating his basic rights. To add insult to injury he is now forced to work in an outbuilding, away from other workers.

Workers who made clothes for Victoria's Secret, Lane Bryant, Huber and Triumph have been fighting for the 7.6 million USD they are owed for over five years now. When these brands finally ensure these workers are paid, by paying themselves or ensuring the business owner, Robert Ng, compensates them?

ASICS seems to think it's fine to jail a worker for 6 months just for organising. Chea Chan, a union leader at Wing Star Cambodia, is "back at work" - he's made to work in an outbuilding away from other workers. ASICS didn't compensate him for his plight & let this violation of basic rights persist.

One year ago, students and other protesters managed to oust the ruling leader Sheikh Hasina. Today, we remember the many people who were killed in the movement for change by the ruthless repression by the Hasina government. Since then, an interim government is at work to build a new Bangladesh.

By including football teams in the illegal settlements, the IFA is directly complicit in & legitimises the violent and illegal theft of Palestinian land to give way for these settlements, which form the infrastructure of Israel's occupation & apartheid regime.

Since then, Reebok created confusion about its position, removing its logo from the IFA website, having players use old PUMA jerseys and refusing to answer questions from advocates.
Last week, BDS reported that Reebok's logo re-appeared on the IFA website. So it is time for action!!

The workers in these two factories fought side by side for the money that was stolen from them for years, yet Nike is applying different standards to the two groups of workers.

A month later, we must conclude: Nike ghosted them, again! The former Violet Apparel workers are wondering why. After years of ignoring wage theft in its supply chain, Nike this year finally started compensating workers of the Hong Seng factory in Thailand, but not the former Violet Apparel workers

After these five years of being told that they did not produce for Nike (despite clear proof!) and being denied justice, they once more respectfully contacted the company that could so easily ensure they are paid the severance they were unlawfully denied.
