Major fashion brands are to sign a petition to #Payup their garment factories for cancelled or delayed orders because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Remake, a nonprofit organization that strives to educate consumers on the fashion industry of women and its environmental impact, has asked top fashion brands to #Payup what they owe the garment factories and not just make empty promises by launching the #Payup petition on April 3 to spotlight how some of the world’s biggest fashion brands owe more than $3 billion to garment factories in countries such as Bangladesh, India, Myanmar and Cambodia for upcoming orders.
The organization stated that the companies withholding their payments has resulted in international garment workers being out of work with no severance, savings or access to health care. Remake also reports that an estimated 50 million garment workers will be impacted by COVID-19.
