UNI Global Union and IndustriALL are urging international fashion brands to maintain their long-term commitment to Bangladesh, aiming to secure the country's democratic and economic future.
The global unions have reached out to 200 signatories of the International Accord, a factory safety program in Bangladesh, requesting that these brands continue their engagement amid political volatility.
“The garment sector is the backbone of the Bangladeshi economy. Your commitment to improving health and safety for garment workers through the International Accord has allowed millions of garment workers to be lifted out of poverty, without risking their lives to do so,” said UNI Deputy General Secretary Alke Boessiger and IndustriALL General Secretary Atle Høie in a joint letter to brands.
