After years of global campaigning, Levi's signed Pakistan @SafetyAccord. It's a growing consensus: binding, enforceable agreements backed by worker education & organizing w/ independent enforcement mechanisms are the best way to protect people at work. wsr-network.org/levis-signs-pa…

@ElliottForWard1 @aishaforward10 @JChavezMpls BDC director Doug Mork & CTUL director Merle Payne explain how this program will work, with workers having a space to share what they are facing to make changes. Merle shared praise for the 2 non-profit developers showing leadership & called on for-profit developers to step up!

🚨Breaking🚨CTUL workers have campaigned to end abuses in non-union construction for years, and today are announcing the historic news that two Twin Cities affordable housing developers (@Hope_MN and @AllianceHsg) have becoming the first to join @BDC_Standards! 🧵

As hurricane Milton hits Florida, @ciw tells @democracynow how their radio station informs the community & how @FairFoodProgram has improved conditions, saving lives during storms. This is why organized workers are a critical part of our climate response. democracynow.org/2024/10/10/mil…

As Hurricane Milton nears FL, read about how farmworkers with the CIW are organizing the community to ensure the thousands of farmworkers and their families are safe and well-resourced in times of accelerating climate change, from @syraob of @MiamiHerald miamiherald.com/news/weather/h…

The transformative work of @ciw, @fairfoodnation & @FairFoodProgram is breathtaking. And to think that they could double their capacity now.... ciw-online.org/blog/2024/10/t…

ciw-online.org/blog/2024/09/e… From Immokalee, Florida – the birthplace of the Fair Food Program — we want to extend our heartfelt congratulations to Nnimmo Bassey, and wish him the best of luck in his continued efforts!

ciw-online.org/blog/2024/09/u… On this Labor Day, USA Today published an opinion piece from Gerardo Reyes Chavez, a farmworker and longtime leader with the @ciw on the transformative impact of the @FairFoodProgram

usatoday.com/story/opinion/… “While the @FairFoodProgram is great for workers, it’s good for employers and retail brands, too. That’s because it has tackled longstanding human rights violations such as forced labor, child labor, physical violence and sexual assault.”

"The bottom line: Food retailers, which could require their suppliers to join programs like the @FairFoodProgram or #MilkWithDignity, are key to ending widespread forced labor." - @axios
