Western Glove Works non-response re remediation to migrant workers in Mauritius
BHRRC outreach to Western Glove Works
Several months after the publication of Transparentem’s report we are inviting all brands identified in the investigation as sourcing from the factories to provide information:
- On how the above violations have been addressed, and
- Specifically to provide responses to the following questions:
- What steps has Western Glove Works taken since the investigation’s publication to investigate the allegations brought to it by Transparentem? Has Western Glove Works substantiated the outstanding allegations, particularly of recruitment fee-charging?
- If audits of the factory have been conducted, please disclose any and all audit reports from January 2023 to present.
- As of May 2024, is Western Glove Works part of a buyer’s group at the factory? If yes, has it committed funds to remediate workers who were charged recruitment fees?
- Given the commitment from Barbour, PVH and Second Clothing to repay migrant workers for recruitment fees and related costs at R.E.A.L, will Western Glove Works commit to joining a reimbursement effort at DDI?
- To date, what efforts have been made to address the allegations of abusive working and living conditions? How has the implementation of any improvement measures been substantiated by Western Glove Works?
Western Glove Works did not respond to the questions raised by the Resource Centre.
