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 Monopolies

"Starting Jan. 1, California employers won’t be able to require workers to attend any meetings related to their political or religious views — or how their bosses feel about unions," writes Jeanne Kuang of CalMatters. https://alamedapost.com/news/new-ca-law-bans-your-boss-ordering-attend-anti-union-meetings/

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.

Japan's health ministry is planning to ban employees from working for 14 consecutive days or more, a move aimed at tackling the nation’s infamous overwork problem. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/11/13/japan/society/japan-limit-consecutive-workdays/ #japan #society #jobs #overwork #mentalhealth #laborlaws

@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."
