Wage Forward Campaign
A concrete proposal for an enforceable binding agreement between brands and trade unions on the payment of living wages to garment workers
Asia Floor Wage Alliance, Clean Clothes Campaign, and the Worker-driven Social Responsibility Network set out a concrete proposal for an enforceable binding agreement between brands and trade unions on the payment of living wages to garment workers called the Wage Forward campaign. WageForward.org highlights the important benefits of the Enforceable Brand Agreement (EBA) and Worker-driven Social Responsibility (WSR) approach. Just as the Accord on Fire and Building Safety in Bangladesh and the Fair Food Program have dramatically improved the safety and living conditions of supply chain workers, EBAs within the garment industry hold real promise for addressing the crises caused by poverty wages.
