Labor and human rights groups in India are bringing a Fair Food Program-style model to the sugar industry, hoping to push big brands to sign binding legal agreements to protect workers and adopt humane standards. ciw-online.org/blog/2025/03/…

Following in the model of the @ciw 's @FairFoodProgram we are building towards Worker-driven Social Responsibility (WSR) program at every link in the #sugarindustry supply chain.
Coalition of Immokalee Workers retweeted
We call on every global brand sourcing sugar from India to join in this new partnership and lead the sugar industry towards ensuring fair labor practices throughout the entire supply chain!

The experience of dairy workers in the #MilkWithDignity program is entirely different than the world outside the program who routinely experience "poor wages, unsafe working conditions, inadequate housing, & discrimination."
This is the difference that WSR makes.
“Out of over 200 migrant dairy workers surveyed in Vermont this year, 77% say they have suffered an accident or injury at work and 87% make lower than the minimum wage"

1st developers commit to @BDC_Standards-a step forward for adapting WSR to the construction industry & protecting more workers' rights.
Congratulations to @CTUL_TC @AllianceHsg @Hope_MN for taking this step to transform an industry known for its abuses!

The contrast between conditions in the #MilkWithDignity program and on farms outside the program is stark.
This is the difference that WSR programs make for workers.
"A survey conducted by Migrant Justice + academic researchers showed that, bc VT does not protect the right of farm workers to earn a minimum wage, 87% of the workers surveyed were not making minimum wage, and over a quarter were making less than $10/hr"

Worker-to-worker education is at the heart of building a worker-driven program.
Here's what that looked like when workers with @WeCount_Fl visited our member @MigrantJustice this summer.

It's great to see that Levi's finally signed the International Accord for Pakistan to ensure workers can be safe in their factories. Hopefully, the brand will also soon protect its workers in Bangladesh. sourcingjournal.com/denim/de…

📣Victory!!
After years of campaigning by unions and activists around the world, has signed the International Accord: a binding agreement that will ensure Levi's supplier factories are inspected and made safe. Thank you to everyone who kept the pressure up all these years!
Coalition of Immokalee Workers retweeted
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.

In the aftermath of Hurricane Milton, I spoke to a radio host for @ciw who played an important part in getting farm workers vital information. The work continues long after the storm subsides. motherjones.com/environment/…

Douglas, a CTUL mbr & chair of the Board, tells story of workers facing exploitation & years of work to get here. “The BDR program is the solution we as construction workers are looking for. We are proud to stand with these decompress $ say ‘abuse has no place in this industry!’”

🚨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.

Farmworkers in FL are often left behind because while they live inland they live in low-lying geography. Radio Conciencia is a lifeline for Immokalee farmworkers, whose listeners say they only left for the shelter because of what they heard on the radio
