Expectations in relation to
Factory Closures and Mass-Dismissals
Clean
Clothes Campaign E-Bulletin
The aim of this bulletin is to define the issues
at stake to prevent closures. Secondly this bulletin
looks into the issues at stake when garment factories
close or significantly reduce their production
and therefore drastically reduce the number of
employees. This bulletin also seeks to provide
an overview of the existing regulations and agreements
regarding closure and workers rights in
the international labour rights context. The emphasis
of this bulletin is on the role of the brand name
companies and retailers that find themselves at
the top of the supply chain.
We welcome comments and contributions via info@cleanclothes.org
