Asia Floor Wage Alliance looks back

After Ten Years of Asia Floor Wage Alliance’s work, they took the last few months to develop a “short” history of the development of AFWA. Please find here the link to this new Publication titled Asia Floor Wage Alliance: A Short History on the Brink of Transition, also available from the Home Page of the website. Writing this history has been a huge task going through volumes of old documents and correspondences.

AFWA is at a brink of change or a threshold….. much has been accomplished but till garment workers get dignity, living wage, and collective power, our work is not yet finished. Going forward, AFWA will be engaged in developing new strategies to make living wage and collective power a bargained and enforceable reality in the global supply chain of garment.
