European garment sector workers paid below par wages - CCC

11 Jun '14
4 min read

The campaigning group along with trade unions and workers across the region are calling on European fashion brands to make sure as a firstimmediate step that workers in the researched region receive a basic net wage of at least 60% of the national average wage. Buying prices must be calculated on this basis and allow for these wage hikes.

“Stitched Up” is part of a series of reports by the Clean Clothes Campaign that look at the situation of garment workers worldwide and the steps brands must take to pay a living wage. Earlier this year CCC conducted an extensive survey among major garment brands looking at the steps they have taken towards a living wage, the outcomes were published in the report “Tailored Wages”. Based on this report, the campaign launches today a consumer-friendly mobile app where the performance of more than 100 brands regarding their efforts to pay a living wage is shown.
 
As both this latest report and the app show there is still a long way to go. Brands need to act now and make sure that garment workers in their own supply chain – be it Asia or Europe- receive a living wage.
