It's 11 years since the collapse of Rana Plaza, a building in Dhaka, Bangladesh that housed some 5 garment factories. More than 1100 workers died on 24 April 2013 but this was no accident. Workers and in fact, just about every body, knew that the building was unstable. It was built on a pond, without the correct construction permits, extra floors were added to the building illegally, and the heavy equipment associated with the garment industry all meant that the building couldn't hold the weight of its contents.But also, on the day of the collapse, cracks had appeared in the walls of the building, and the other tenants – banks, small shops, they all closed for the day. But the garment workers were not afforded this basic safety measure. They were forced to work that day on threat of losing an entire months wages. They staged massive protests outside the building, but were eventually forced inside because of the unrelenting poverty that they are subjected to.So Rana Plaza was no accident – it was, it is, Industrial murder. 11 years on, these workers are fighting for an across the board wage increase. Their year long campaign has had some gains. Joining me today to discuss the wage case and the anniversary of Rana Plaza, I am joined by Taslima Akhter.

A century ago, Jews were at the center of the American garment industry and at the forefront in the battle for those workers' rights. In this episode, host Avishay Artsy speaks to Daniel Katz and Caroline Luce about how Yiddish-speaking immigrants fused class and culture to empower generations of garment workers.
Few events have transformed society as profoundly as the Industrial Revolution. The introduction of the factory system not only revolutionized the production landscape but also reshaped the social and economic contours of nations. This transformation was marked by the birth of industries such as textiles, iron, and glass-making, which catapulted productivity and altered every facet of daily life, setting the stage for modern civilization. However, the bastions of industrialization are not impervious to change. Jostein Hauge is a political economist and Assistant Professor in Development Studies at the University of Cambridge, based at the Centre of Development Studies and the Department of Politics and International Studies. In a new book – The Future of the Factory: How Megatrends are Changing Industrialization – he advocates for adaptive, forward-looking industrial strategies that are attuned to the realities of the 21st century. He argues that the current era is characterized by four 'megatrends' or significant shifts in technology, economy, society, and ecology that are collectively redefining the essence and trajectory of industrialization. These trends are challenging the conventional wisdom of manufacturing-led growth and industrial strategies. From the rise of service economies and digital automation to the complex web of global production networks and the pressing imperatives of ecological sustainability, these megatrends demand a reevaluation of the future of factories and the very notion of industrial development. @haugejosteinTo ensure you never miss an episode of In Pursuit of Development, please make sure to subscribe to our podcast, rate us to support the show, and share this episode within your networks.

In this episode, Nika Salvetti reflects on the Rana Plaza tragedy in Bangladesh and its impact on the garment industry. When the Rana Plaza building collapsed in 2013, killing more than 1,000 people and injuring another 2,500, it served as the tipping point for reforms in the garment industry. The tragedy spawned not only safety reforms but environmental ones as well, as the clothing industry is one of the most polluting. Today, garment factories in Bangladesh are subject to regular safety inspections, and companies are required to treat their wastewater so that chemicals do not pollute the soil and water. Salvetti also discusses the factors that motivate businesses to move towards socially and environmentally responsible practices. Finally, she recommends steps that consumers can take to encourage businesses to be more socially and environmentally responsible.
Ten years ago, the devastating Rana Plaza collapse in Dhaka proved just how deadly the business of making clothes could be for marginalised garment workers. In countries like Bangladesh where cheap clothing is produced at high volume, and wages are kept low, it's these workers - mostly young women - who face the greatest exploitation and vulnerability.As a result, a new consumer movement was born in the form of Fashion Revolution. New agreements, like what's now known as the International Accord and Health and Safety in the Textile and Garment Industry, were developed. Supply chain transparency became a buzz phrase. We'd entered a new era of scrutiny, spotlighting working conditions, poverty wages and brands that failed to do the right thing. So far so good, but today the power imbalances persist between brands and suppliers that result in unfair purchasing practices persist, the right to unionise is by no means universally upheld and almost no big brands pay a living wage.Events commemorating the disaster's anniversary went hard on the hashtag, #ranaplazaneveragain - but how much has really changed since 2013? Are factories everywhere safer? How about fairer? To what extent has fashion production really become more ethical?You're going to hear from three people who spend their days advocating for a better deal for garment workers:TAMAZER AMED is ActionAid Bangladesh's lead for Women's Rights & Gender Equity.SARAH KNOP is Baptist World Aid Australia's Advocacy Manager.NAYEEM EMRAN is Oxfam Australia's Economic Justice Strategic Lead.Check the shownotes for links and further reading.Value the show?

Today's show is a special one because it's a LIVE episode from a panel I did in New York a couple of weeks ago. As many of you know, or will come to learn through this discussion, for far to long American garment workers have faced unsafe working conditions, wage theft, and piecework pay, which often prioritizes fast fashion over worker safety. The proposed federal FABRIC Act, introduces groundbreaking new workplace protections and manufacturing incentives to cement the US as the global leader in responsible apparel production. This policy would protect nearly 100,000 American garment workers and revitalize the garment industry in the United States by improving working conditions, reforming the piece-rate pay scale and investing in domestic apparel production. Together, by championing the FABRIC Act, we are reweaving the very fabric of the future US garment industry. On this week's episode, I talk with three other sustainable fashion changemakers about how they're advocating for progress in the fashion industry through the FABRIC Act. Let's just dive right in! DISCUSSED IN THE EPISODE: [8:07] What were the lightbulb moments that turned our panelists into fashion changemakers? [20:45] Why living wages are essential to sustainable fashion. [27:30] How to think about cost and accessibility in the sustainable fashion conversation.

Hibiscus.tech is on a mission to make the garment industry more accessible, transparent, and equitable for all of the creators involved - from manufacturing to textile design and more. Founders Vishnu G. Kumar and Jeremy Karl are leading the way with their love of fashion and their deep appreciation for all individuals involved in the process of making beautiful clothing and more. We had a fascinating conversation, covering their backgrounds in both fashion and tech, working with major brands and "influencers", and the massive need for change in an industry that has so much room to improve upon. Hibiscus' focus is to build a decentralized, community-curated apparel brand and create "Fashion Legos," an open-source garment library for apparel production. The traditional business model of maximizing profit by minimizing returns to stakeholders leads to exploitation of manufacturers, designers, and the environment. Hibiscus DAO aims to return power and ownership to creators and producers and verify that products are made ethically. The company plans to use consensus-driven blockchain technology to achieve this goal, of course storing all of it on Arweave. Enjoy this thought-provoking episode.Be sure and follow Hibiscus on Twitter @hibiscusdaoAnd follow @onlyarweave for all things Arweave related.

Sandra Wisner is a senior staff lawyer with the Institute for Justice & Democracy in Haiti (IJDH), a U.S. human rights organization, working in partnership with the Haiti-based public interest law firm the Bureau des Avocats Internationaux (BAI) [Garment Industry] At first glance, the garment workers' protests sweeping Haiti appear to be the result of a grossly inadequate minimum wage. But listen closely to the organizers and you will see they are rooted in decades of rights violations perpetrated by foreign states' approach to investment in Haiti. Foreign actors must be held accountable to their legal obligations both for the harm they have caused and to ensure that future investment in Haiti is fair and sustainable. [Food Insecurities] A series of international economic assistance programs in Haiti has led to a protracted and worsening food crisis in the country, amplifying the country's vulnerability to starvation and malnutrition, as well as natural disasters, like earthquakes and pandemics. These economic programs, which dealt a crushing blow to the country's domestic agriculture and left the erstwhile self-sustaining nation vulnerable to chronic food insecurity, have ultimately impeded the ability of Haitian people, and their future generations, to enjoy their right to food, health, education, work, and other fundamental human rights. The lack of responsibility taken by those who imposed these policies—among them, international financial institutions like the World Bank—reveals the need for foreign actor compliance with human rights obligations and remediation. This paper proposes that the food insecurity Haitians face today constitutes a violation of the right to food—a territorial and extraterritorial obligation that foreign actors have pledged themselves, both under the United Nations Charter and other human rights instruments, to promote and respect. As such, this paper outlines the emerging recognition of extraterritorial obligations (“ETOs”) around the globe; suggests available mechanisms at the domestic, regional, and international level for adjudication of cases arising from ETOs; and proposes ETOs' application to traditional policies and remedies meant to protect individuals from harm and compensate them for harm caused. [Peacekeeper Exploitation & Abuse] In Haiti, UN peacekeeping troops have been tied to sexual exploitation and abuse towards local communities. In pursuit of justice and accountability, BAI has been supporting claims for child support on behalf of children fathered by UN peacekeepers. Our teams at BAI and IJDH are leading the litigation in Haiti and both local and international advocacy to fight for justice and defend the rights of women and children. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/negmawonpodcast/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/negmawonpodcast/support

The textile industry is the backbone of Pakistan's economy, accounting for 8.5 percent of its GDP. But it's also a source of major pollution, with untreated waste flowing into the groundwater and factories relying heavily on coal. Our correspondents report on the industry's impact in Faisalabad, Pakistan's main textile hub, where clothes are produced for the biggest fast fashion brands.
Dr. Sarah Litvin, Director of the Reher Center for Immigrant Culture and History and Dr. Sarah Gardner, Curator of the museum, join another Sarah (co-host Sarah O'Connell-Claitor) and co-host Jonah Triebwasser for a program updating the story of the Reher Center, a unique asset of the Kingston, NY, waterfront (the Roundout). The Reher Center is housed in the former Reher Bakery, a Kingston institution run by the Reher family for 80 years. During the restrictions of the covid pandemic, the Center used the down time to upgrade the facilities, including a new gallery that is opening with an exhibit highlighting the role immigrants have played in making Kingston a center of sewing and other aspects of the garment industry. In addition to the exhibit, the Center will host special programs on women in the garment industry and workshops in sewing and embroidery.

While people in Britain face numerous assaults on their living standards - inflation, soaring energy prices and cuts to benefits to name a few, workers in the garment industry face particularly bad conditions. Servicing the cut-throat fast fashion industry, they are virtually hidden from view in unsafe sweatshops or homeworking and earning much less than the minimum wage. Legislation is ineffective in improving workers conditions and trade unions find it hard to organise due to the vulnerability of workers who fear for their livelihoods. Such is the real world for a section of the working class in Britain today.
Michigan's Upper Peninsula is known for its natural beauty and severe winters, as well as the mines and forests where men labored to feed industrial factories elsewhere in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. But there were factories in the Upper Peninsula, too, and women who worked in them. In We Kept Our Towns Going, Phyllis Michael Wong tells the stories of the Gossard Girls, women who sewed corsets and bras at factories in Ishpeming and Gwinn from the early twentieth century all the way into the 1970s. As the Upper Peninsula's mines became increasingly exhausted and its stands of timber further depleted, the Gossard Girls' income sustained both their families and the local economy. During this time the workers showed their political and economic strength, including a successful four-month strike in the 1940s that capped an eight-year struggle to unionize. Drawing on dozens of interviews with the surviving workers and their families, this book highlights the daily challenges and joys of these mostly first- and second-generation immigrant women. It also illuminates the way the Gossard Girls navigated shifting ideas of what single and married women could and should do as workers and citizens. From cutting cloth and distributing materials to getting paid and having fun, Wong gives us a rare ground-level view of piecework in a clothing factory from the women on the sewing room floor. PHYLLIS MICHAEL WONG has held roles as a historian, an educator, and thirty-year member of the university level academic world, including as First Lady at Northern Michigan University (2004–12) and San Francisco State University (2012–19). We Kept Our Towns Going: The Gossard Girls of Michigan's Upper Peninsula is available at msupress.org and other fine booksellers. Phyllis will be speaking in Gwinn, Michigan, on April 12. On April 13 at 6:30 PM at the Marquette Regional History Center in Marquette, Michigan. On Thursday, April 14, in the afternoon at Northern Michigan University.

2 "Pay a Fair Price for That, With Rachel Faller" About this episode: Rachel Faller, an artist and entrepreneur, grew up with firsthand knowledge of how much time and effort goes into making things, clothes especially. Though she didn't set out to helm a business, her relentless dedication to community, inclusivity, reciprocity and zero waste sets her company, tonlé, apart in the fair trade fashion space. About our guest: Rachel Faller is an entrepreneur by trade and a creative at heart. She dedicates most of her time to rectifying harm within the garment industry using a systemic approach- encouraging people to think about the root of systemic injustice and tackling these issues at their core rather than simply treating the symptoms.

Mining is an essential component to our everyday lives, providing us with the raw materials we need to create a wide variety of products. However, while mining contributes to our technological progress, it comes with an often hidden dark side rife with environmental and human rights abuses. When more than 60% of the world's mining companies are based in Canada, what does this mean for us as everyday ecocitizens? What responsibilities do we have with respect to holding these companies to account for their use and abuse of people and planet? These are some of the questions we drill into today with guests Chandu Claver, International Spokesperson for the Cordillera Peoples' Alliance, Teresa Kramarz, Associate Professor at the University of Toronto, and Sheri Meyerhoffer, Canadian Ombudsperson for Responsible Enterprise (CORE).
Maxine Bédat is the founder and director of New Standard Institute, a think-and-do tank dedicated to turning industry into a force for good. She is a former lawyer and the cofounder of ethical fashion brand Zady. She is an ambassador at the Rainforest Alliance and has spoken at the World Economic Forum, the United Nations, and the Clinton Global Initiative. Important topic this week on Guy Kawasaki's Remarkable People podcast.
By the mid-1930s, Pennsylvania's anthracite coal industry was facing a steady decline. Mining areas such as the Wyoming Valley around the cities of Wilkes-Barre and Pittston were full of willing workers (including women) who proved irresistibly attractive to New York City's “runaway shops”—ladies' apparel factories seeking lower labor and other costs. The International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union (ILGWU) soon followed, and the Valley became a thriving hub of clothing production and union activity. This volume tells the story of the area's apparel industry through the voices of men and women who lived it. Drawing from an archive of over sixty audio-recorded interviews within the Northeastern Pennsylvania Oral and Life History Collection, Sewn in Coal Country showcases sixteen stories told by workers, shop owners, union leaders, and others. The interview subjects recount the ILGWU-led movement to organize the shops, the conflicts between the district union and the national office in New York, the solidarity unionism approach of leader Min Matheson, the role of organized crime within the business, and the failed efforts to save the industry in the 1980s and 1990s. Robert P. Wolensky places the narratives in the larger context of American clothing manufacturing during the period and highlights their broader implications for the study of labor, gender, the working class, and oral history. Robert P. Wolensky is Professor Emeritus of Sociology at the University of Wisconsin–Stevens Point and Adjunct Professor of History at King's College, Wilkes-Barre. He is the coauthor of "Fighting for the Union Label: The Women's Garment Industry and the ILGWU in Pennsylvania."
Since Eileen Small entered the textile and garment industries in the 1980's, a lot has changed. When she started out, close to 90% of garment manufacturing took place in the USA and today this number has dropped to less than 10%. Furthermore, technology has made the world a much smaller place, and a more entrepreneurial one, and sustainability and transparency have become vital to staying relevant. In today's episode, Eileen gives us an inside look at what it was like sourcing piece goods (commonly known as fabrics) from all over the world in her twenties, and the nuances that exist within the textile and garment industries. As a trade show veteran, Eileen also has valuable advice to share about how to get the most out of these events, and what you can expect from some of the upcoming ones that are going to be held in the near future. The textile and apparel industries have some of the most responsive and attentive supply chains of all manufacturing sectors, and you will have a greater appreciation for the apparel that clothes you after listening to this episode!

One of the dominant explanations for elusive development in many parts of the world is the negative role played by corruption in the development process. And many national and local governments as well as international aid agencies have spent considerable time and resources trying to come up with plans to combat the corruption menace. But anti-corruption policy has often been difficult to implement and many well-intentioned efforts have had limited impact. Despite the challenges associated with researching the phenomenon, corruption has attracted considerable academic interest over the years. And one of the leading thinkers on anti-corruption, governance and economic development is my guest this week. Mushtaq Khan is a professor of economics at SOAS, University of London where he directs the Anti-Corruption Research Consortium (ACE).Mushtaq Khan and Anti-Corruption Research Consortium on TwitterDan Banik and In Pursuit of Development on Twitter

Mitchell Plitnick, political analyst, writer and president of ReThinking Foreign Policy, talks to us about about President Biden’s latest foreign policy statements regarding the Middle East; the U.S. recalibrating its relationship with Saudi Arabia; efforts to renegotiate the Iranian Nuclear deal; changes, if any, in the U.S. position regarding the Palestinians; the role of Turkey in the region; and a major weapons sale to Egypt.Chris Garaffa, web developer, technologist, security and privacy consultant tells us about a proposed Australian law that has ignited a major battle with Facebook, the Maryland proposal of taxing online ad revenue, and the role and power of social media in the marketing and dissemination of news.Fred Magdoff, professor emeritus of plant and soil science at the University of Vermont and co-author of “What Every Environmentalist Needs to Know About Capitalism,” joins us to talk about the garment industry, calls for the U.S. to establish a “Fashion Czar” to counteract the environmental damage generated by it, and the possibilities to enact real change beyond mere marketing strategies. Kaitlin Sopoci-Belknap, national coordinator with the Movement for a People's Party, and Teresa Lundy, communications strategist and principal at TML Communications join hosts Bob Schlehuber and Michelle Witte to discuss President Biden giving up the fight for a $15 federal minimum wage, ongoing negotiations over the child tax credit and the COVID relief bill, putting bipartisanship over the needs of the people, and the possibilities of creating alternatives beyond the two-party system.The Misfits also talk about highlights and lowlights from President Biden’s speech to the G7 this morning, including resets with Russia and China, updates on the NBA All Star Game, a small victory by Uber drivers in the UK, and suspensions of Capitol Police officers over the January 6 riots.
In this episode Azan Sarwar talks with us about the give and take of continuous improvement in the garment sector as organizations transition from how things have always been done to implementing Lean and Six Sigma to compete in the current global landscape.

Betsy Byers teaches painting and print-making at Gustavus Adolphus College, but she drove from her home in St. Peter, Minn., to see Rachel Breen’s show “The Shapes We Take” at Soo Visual Arts Center in Minneapolis. The large, multimedia work contemplates mass-produced clothing and the issues raised in their manufacture. Hand-sewn collage elements, colored pencil drawings and fragments of fabric scraps from a Bangladesh garment factory work together — not just to create striking images — but to draw attention to negative space. “As I spent more time in the gallery,” says Byers, “I kept thinking of my own clothes and imagining where those shapes might have been cut from.” As a painter, Byers felt a connection to the work. “There were all of the elements that you look for in a good painting,” such as color, texture, pattern and high contrast. “The Shapes We Take” runs in-person and online through Feb. 14. The SooVAC gallery is closed to in-person visits on Jan. 30 and 31. Caroline Alkire appreciates the Kohlman and Pryor Gallery’s cheerful response to the winter blahs. The northeast Minneapolis gallery exhibition “The Color Series, Part 4: Orange” includes paintings and sculpture by seven Minnesota artists. The styles vary, but they are united by color. “It’s really great to be able to enter a nice, warm space in the winter time,” says Alkire. “Coming into the gallery and seeing all of these orange pieces, it lifts your heart a little bit and makes you feel a little warm.” The show runs through April 3, with an artist reception at 7 p.m. on Feb. 13. Courtesy of Heather Olson "Aanjibimaadiziwag Manidoonsag: The Small Spirits Are Changing Form" was created by Michelle Defoe of the Red Cliff Band of Lake Superior Ojibwe, Heather Olson and Aurora Webster. They had help from families at Steve O'Neill apartments and children submitted dragonfly designs. Daniel Oyinloye of DanSan Creatives in Duluth, Minn., loves the work of Moira Villiard. She’s a visual artist and community organizer who grew up on the Fond du Lac Reservation in northeastern Minnesota and now hails from Duluth. That’s where you will find her brightly colored murals at Gichi-Ode’ Akiing park and on the University of Minnesota-Duluth campus. In Lincoln Park, Villiard’s team and artist Michelle Defoe of the Red Cliff Band of Lake Superior Ojibwe have covered a 60-foot wall with dragonflies, ricing and other images.

You can reduce your garment manufacturing cost by 10% with this simple paradigm shift: the most high-skilled job in the cutting room is NOT fabric cutting. It is fabric SPREADING.If engineered properly, one person can spread and inspect fabric at the same time. With proper fabric planning and roll management, you can eliminate ticketing and still control shading, while maximizing every inch of fabric that can be used.In this episode, Ram Sareen shares real world footage of the best fabric spreading practices in action and explains how good engineering can turn your cutting room from your biggest headache into your most valuable asset.Tukatalks is the show where fashion industry experts share real-world knowledge gained through hands-on experience.Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tukatalksFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/tukatalksTwitter: https://twitter.com/tukatalks

This episode is the replay of a conversation between Ram Sareen and David Birnbaum hosted by Just-Style in the Cut the Noise webinar on September 23, 2020.The key to developing a fashion business strategy is problem solving. Problem solving is not that difficult. It is not rocket science. Then again, to the rocket scientist, rocket science is not that difficult at least when compared to filling out a tax return. It is just what we do.Problem solving is a three-part process:Agree there is a problemRecognize that solving the problem is sufficiently important to pay the priceDevise a comprehensive integrated strategy based on accurate informationThe obstacle is all about point 3. Using accurate information. In truth, we are all drowning in a sea of noise.Some start with a solution, then shoehorn the data to fit that solution. Others employ one dataset to prove their point when a second or even a third dataset would provide better, more accurate information.This seminar serves two purposes.To show how to separate out the noise and devise a strategy based on accurate informationTo provide solutions for serious problems facing Asia’s garment export industriesThis is not some academic, theoretical exercise but practical, doable strategies that can materially affect millions of lives.One final question: Why present this on a public platform? Would it not be better to speak directly to relevant governments and/or the national industry organizations?Industries, countries, and perhaps the entire world are run by a dominant minority. It is only during a time of crisis, such as now, that the dominant minority can be replaced by a new creative minority. However, the dominant minority will not go down without a fight. Effecting real change requires ownership of the tools of change. Going to governments allows them to distort the process to protect themselves and their power. Going public denies the ability to distort.Tukatalks is the show where fashion industry experts share real-world knowledge gained through hands-on experience.Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tukatalksFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/tukatalksTwitter: https://twitter.com/tukatalks
As 3D software has become more popular in fashion companies, many are frustrated that adding 3D design doesn't seem to be reducing the amount of work required for product development -- or the number of physical samples required for approval. Ram Sareen has honed in on the foundational issue that prevents fashion businesses from succeeding in 3D fashion design and fit: the integrity of the 3D model. Here, he explains why the 3D model is so important, and the harmful practices that ruin fit.========================TUKATALKS is the show where fashion industry experts share real-world knowledge gained through hands-on experience.Facebook/Instagram/Twitter: @tukatalks

In this episode: Erlinda and Armand Tesoro. Erlinda arrived in 1968 from the Philippines to work in the Garment Industry. Musician Yosvanii Castañeda defected 40 years later during a stopover in Toronto from Japan to Cuba.
First: Kevin O'Rourke of Reformasi Weekly and the news from Indonesia. And then: Millions -- mostly female -- workers throughout Asia's garment industry have been thrown out of work because big brands are cutting orders or reneging on payment to contractors. Seven years after the Rana Plaza disaster in Dhaka that left 1,132 dead activists say workers in the industry are still expendable.
Bangladesh's garment industry is struggling as international fashion brands terminate clothing contracts. Worldwide lockdowns have caused the demand for clothing to significantly fall. This in turn has forced international fashion brands to withdraw their orders worth more than $3 billion from garment factories in Bangladesh. The Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA) estimates that over 50% of around 4.1 million garment laborers in the country were furloughed or dismissed by factory owners. The Bangladesh Commerce Ministry reported that about 15 million jobs in Bangladesh are dependent on the garment industry. Aside from factory workers, other laborers like food sellers and truck drivers are also being affected by the industry's decline. Most of the dismissed workers belong to the poorest population of the world, and the majority of them are the breadwinners for their families. Factory shutdowns are not the only concern of laid-off workers during the pandemic. Those who live in small villages outside Dhaka, Bangladesh's capital where many garment factories are located, cannot go home to their families because of local travel restrictions. To recover from this crisis, factory owners urged international brands to comply with the provisions of their contracts. A recent survey revealed that most of the canceled orders, which were from the United States and Europe, were already in progress or completed. In response to the factory owners' pleas, some brands have agreed to compensate them for canceled orders that were finished or in-process. Some brands agreed to pay them in full, while others will pay only a portion of the originally agreed price.
Inspired by the food truck concept, mobile boutiques could offer fashion businesses a new way to engage with customers while navigating occupancy and distance restrictions. Bring the boutique directly to the customer!========================TUKATALKS is the show where fashion industry experts share real-world knowledge gained through hands-on experience.Facebook/Instagram/Twitter: @tukatalks

There are two stories playing out in India right now. The stories of those who have the luxury of working from home and those who are walking miles to reach home. For the migrant workers and daily wage earners, the lockdown has thrown their life out of gear. This reverse migration has also left many small and medium industries in a lurch. The Indian textiles industry which has around 4.5 crore workers reported a massive credit crunch due to the payment issues caused by the COVID-19 crisis. Exports dipped in March 2020, owing to the breakdown in production, supply, and payment networks. In this episode, Karnataka Garment Worker Union's president Sebastian Devaraj tells us about the challenges faced by the workers of this industry, who are stuck in different cities of Karnataka.

Emily E. Windsor-Cragg, BS MA English Mystical Wisdom. We the People share a common ideology of Wisdom; the same quotes get printed time-after-time in our print media. It seems like a good idea to create a coherent format, a container to put Wisdom IN so it's easier to swallow and quote to our children. Pictures help put across the focus and meaning that we obtain from this English-language culture we live on, so what is familiar makes sense in a wholistic way. Yes, I'm speaking somewhat tongue-in-cheek here. RE-RENDERED NASA & ASTRONOMY IMAGES, so you can actually see something meaningful. A speculative essay has been produced to show how Bureaucracy and Hierarchy are inimical to good Science; that square camera lenses ought to take square images, that 72 pixels per inch can be overcome visually with improved focus, and that the content of Scientisitic imagery in Astronomy and Space Science has disgraced the discipline of validating visual evidence. As a secondary thesis in my manuscript, I speak to the effects of ALL Hierarchies upon any movement on the part of the populace to solve any problem with consensus problem-definition, with wisdom and reasons. Hierarchies operate from dogma, doctrine, policy and procedures that pay little or not attention to the outcomes their faulty data creates nor to the fact they're not-seeing. Author, Emily Cragg, is an eclectic soul and was adopted out of the Elitist bloodline, grew up in the Garment Industry. Survival skills include crochet, health & home-schooling as important to hoard in this down-turning economy. Books by Emily deal with Community Development ["Civil History"], promotion of Leadership skills, governance by consent and semantics. Goal: to know and understand what's really going on in our Galaxy. With Faith, Hope, an attachment to Truth itself, we'll get there
The garment industry provides more than 50,000 jobs in Los Angeles County, including many that are tied to a commercial underground where safety rules don't apply, there's no minimum wage, and a labor pool of illegal immigrants keeps quiet about violations out of fear of deportation. Legitimate garment makers, meanwhile, face a disadvantage in battling underground competitors who skip workers compensation payments and other safety standards, and often shift locations suddenly in order to stay a step ahead of the state’s handful of inspectors. How big and dangerous is this floating world of the garment underground? Miguel Morales of the Garment Worker Center, a Downtown-base advocacy group, Garment Contractors Association Executive Director Joe Rodriguez and T.A. Frank, New America Foundation fellow and editor at The Washington Monthly, visit Zócalo to sort it out. (This event was sponsored, in part, by The California Wellness Foundation.)
