Prosecutors are seeking to reform an export model where premium brands sell Italian fashion abroad at luxury prices, even as inexpensive workshops proliferate around Milan and flout labor standards. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/07/17/companies/italy-sweatshops-armani-dior/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #companies #italy #lvmh #armani #dior #humanrights #laborlaws #jobs

A Milan court placed Italian luxury label Loro Piana SpA under judicial oversight for one year, saying the LVMH-owned label famous for its cashmere clothing did not stop subcontractors from exploiting migrant workers. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/07/15/companies/lvmh-loro-piana-italy-labor/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #companies #luxurygoods #lvmh #loropiana #laborlaws

A quotation from Franklin Roosevelt
Competition, of course, like all other good things, can be carried to excess. Competition should not extend to fields where it has demonstrably bad social and economic consequences. The exploitation of child labor, the chiseling of workers’ wages, the stretching of workers’ hours, are not necessary, fair or proper methods of competition.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882-1945) American lawyer, politician, statesman, US President (1933-1945)
Message (1938-04-29) to Congress, On Curbing MonopoliesSourcing, notes: wist.info/roosevelt-franklin-d…

“How does your captain treat you?”
This is the key question that crew asked when boarding a ship in the third age of Piracy.
https://workingclasshistory.com/podcast/e103-pirates/
This episode of WCH talks about that ritual question. For union members, the “voting on everything” bit might sound familiar, and we also have “quartermasters” whom we call auditors. See our statutes:

The video game actors' strike may be over soon, @theverge reports. SAG-AFTRA announced a tentative contract yesterday; the strike began almost a year ago after the union and a committee from companies including Activision, Epic Games and EA, failed to agree on worker protections around AI. Here's where things currently stand.

Florida Destroys Child Labor Laws for children over 14 years old 😡

"Militant labor doesn't just protect labor rights – it protects human rights. Remember: MLK, Jr was assassinated while campaigning for union janitors in Memphis. LA teachers ended ICE sweeps at the school gates. Librarian unions are leading the fight against book bans.
The good news is that public opinion has swung wildly in favor of unions over the past decade. More people want to join unions than at any time in generations. More people support unions that at any time in generations.
The bad news is that union leadership fucking suuuuuuuucks. As Hamilton Nolan writes, union bosses are sitting on vast, heretofore unseen warchests of cash, and they just experienced a four-year period of governmental support for unions unheard of since the Carter administration, and they did fuck all with that opportunity:"

Attorneys working with ClassAction.org are looking into whether #classaction #lawsuits can be filed on behalf of #employees whose #hourlyrates may have been #illegallyreduced when they #worked #overtimehours.
Federal and state #laborlaws mandate that an #employee’s #overtime #rate must be at least one-and-a-half times their regular #payrate.

@DamienMarieAtHope THIS! 💯 !
#FreeTradeZones and #ExportProcessingZones are places where #LaborLaws don't exist, and are used by big corporations to increase profits!
"In some situations, employees work excessive hours in unsafe conditions such as extreme heat, around faulty machinery, and in buildings that are not routinely inspected and maintained.
"Although foreign investors, enterprises, and firms often earn a sizable amount and the global economy benefits, workers’ wages are typically low, often below that of the required country minimum wage.
Most employees have to accept the previously mentioned working conditions as trade unions, and labor movements are not allowed.
"Due to the competitive nature of EPZs, workers often cannot expect any improvement in conditions as operating costs are purposely kept low to attract investors. Because of the development and infrastructure EPZs bring, countries and governments often won’t step in either."
https://www.thomasnet.com/insights/export-processing-zones/
"Also called foreign trade zones or export processing zones (EPZs), FTZs are “special commercial and industrial area…where foreign and domestic merchandise may be brought in without being subject to payment of customs duties.”[ii] Social protection for labor is ensured by both national and international legislation in Latin America; nonetheless, economic globalization inhibits worker rights across the region, particularly for vulnerable populations such as women, who are employed in FTZs.[iii] The International Labor Organization (ILO) estimates that there are approximately 500 FTZs in Mexico, Central America, South America, and the Caribbean, employing over 6 million workers. Women constitute 70 percent, and in some cases 90 percent, of workers in FTZs, and often perform labor-intensive tasks in sub-standard work conditions.[iv] While economic globalization and free trade enterprises themselves are not to blame for such abuses, there is an urgent need for governments, multi-national corporations, and international institutions to guarantee to hold one another accountable for the gross violations of worker rights occurring."

According to the Economic Policy Institute, which is tracking the trend, 12 states have enacted laws in the last three years that roll back safety rules and regulations on hours and working conditions for workers under age 18. Arkansas allows employers to hire 14- and 15-year-olds without having to verify their ages or report their job conditions. Iowa permits children as young as 14 to work in industrial laundries and roofing and demolition jobs — occupations that federal law considers too hazardous for anyone younger than 18. Florida is among several states allowing 16- and 17-year-olds to work between 11 p.m. and 6:30 a.m. and for more than eight hours — even when they have school the next day. #ChildLabor #Labor #LaborLaws #Children #SaveTheChildren
