...Thank you for giving us the opportunity to share an update... We remain deeply concerned about the situation and continue to work closely with local partners towards an appropriate resolution.

Tex Knits

Unfortunately, we have not seen the progress we had hoped for since our initial response... Worker wages for the month up to 19th July remain outstanding pending the sale of the factory’s assets, and the initial promised payment date of 26th August has now moved to 11th October. Nineteen migrant workers from Bangladesh have also been repatriated without being paid wages owed. Since our last update, we have also received confirmation that a number of workers have been redeployed into other businesses on the island, to meet their short-term needs while they are awaiting July's payment. We are following up on the remainder.
