Living Wage

Years of campaigning by trade union and labour rights organizations around the world have forced major apparel brands to acknowledge that the workers who make their products are entitled to wages that meet their basic needs by local standards. The focus has now shifted to pressuring brands to put their living wage policies into practice.
MSN collaborates with the Clean Clothes Campaign on its global living wage campaign, and works with trade union and women’s organizations in Central America to increase their awareness of living wage campaigns and initiatives in other regions and internationally, and to support their efforts to develop strategies to achieve a living wage in their region.
