Doing Dutch

The working conditions in factories in India that produce for Dutch clothing brands are downright bad. No garment worker earns a living wage. More than one third of the workers not even gets the official minimum wage. Mandatory overtime is often not paid, intimidation is widespread and women earn even less than men. Also, some factories do not take care of social insurances and medical expenses. That, and more, emerges from the study Doing Dutch - Research into the state of pay for workers in garment factories in India working for Dutch fashion brands published by the Clean Clothes Campaign and the India Committee of the Netherlands.
