Building on the Industrial Workers of the World’s new national affiliation with No Sweat, this new webinar series brings together trade unionists from around the world. The first event features the Tamil Nadu Textile and Common Labour Union (TTCU), exploring the Dindigul Agreement and what international solidarity looks like in practice.
The catastrophic collapse of the Rana Plaza building in Bangladesh was meant to force binding accountability and transparency on global fashion brands. Yet years later, structural problems, legislative gaps, and modern slavery persist. With Bangladesh transitioning through a new Interim Government, garment workers stand at a critical crossroads between continued repression and genuine labor reform.
REMEMBER THE DEAD AND FIGHT FOR THE LIVING Every 24th April we commemorate the anniversary of the Rana Plaza tragedy, an act of corporate homicide that resulted in the deaths over over a thousand people, caused by the exploitative practices of the global garment industry. While there have been some changes made since that
On 13th July 2024, No Sweat marched alongside comrades of the UK trade union movement at the 138th Durham Miners’ Gala on the 40th anniversary of the Miners’ Strike.
We marched representing all the trade unions in garment producing countries around the world that we work with and support.
THERE IS POWER IN A UNION!
No Sweat has teamed up with Tamil Nadu Textile and Common Labour Union (TTCU) to produce our UNION-MADE T-shirts!
The TTCU led a groundbreaking campaign to eliminate gender-based violence and sexual harassment in a factory in India following the horrific murder of Jeyasre Kathiravela, a young garment worker and union member – the Justice for Jeyasre campaign.
