Former workers from the Style Avenue factory in Ilopango, El Salvador are still waiting for unpaid severance and wages owed to them since the factory closed nine months ago, as well as outstanding health and pension contributions.

In February of 2023, one of the factory owners was jailed for failing to make legally mandated contributions for healthcare and pensions, and in May 2023, the factory officially closed. The Salvadoran Ministry of Labour estimates that the 244 former workers are owed a total of US$1.8 million.

Leading labour and human rights organizations are demanding sportswear giant Nike end its standoff with Cambodian garment workers and pay the $1.4 million in unpaid wages and termination benefits owed to them since the closure of the Violet Apparel factory in 2020. The Violet Apparel factory is owned by Nike’s primary manufacturing partner, the multi-million-dollar conglomerate, Ramatex Group.
