✔Published audits
✔Sourcing practices that centre workers' rights

NEXT claims the unionised factory was too expensive to operate.

Unionised workers had won a wage increase of less than £10 a month – bringing their salaries to around £100 a month – still less than 1/3 of the Sri Lankan living wage.

Workers were fired without consultation, without notice, and in clear violation of NEXT’s agreement with the trade union.🧵
