Need action to stop severance wage thefts from garment workers in South Asia. laid off
When the COVID 19 epidemic hit, a lot of people working for US and Asian clothing companies in Asia lost their jobs and many never got severance payments their jobs had promised when they were hired. They just came to work one day to find their employers had locked them out.

Here is what we need to do, share this and boycott these companies until they pay their workers their past due wages.. It shouldn't be okay to treat foreign workers like shit Just like it isnt okay to treat American workers like shit. The world is becoming one country and that means their problems will soon become our problems.
If this happened here in the US they would have to pay workers denied their pay interest on the unpaid wages, of at least US minimum wage for hours worked. Plus interest on wages not paid, right?
