Kurzbeschreibung:
Although many studies have been conducted in recent years related to the working conditions and human rights violations of workers in the garment manufacturing industry, there is a lack of specific information on workwear manufacturing units. As workwear for European brands is produced in India, among others, the objective of this research is to investigate the labour and international human rights standards in workwear producing factories in India. Workwear manufacturing is an emerging sector in the global garment industry as well as in India. The majority of Indian workwear production is meanwhile being exported to European countries (Technopak Advisors, 2013). According to our research, the nature of employment in this sector is often informal and contractual and with little job security. Wages are low, minimum wages are violated and workers are not paid according to their skills or grade of employment. There are rampant violations related to working hours, overtime, maternal benefits, leave, employment contracts and entitlements. There is an urgent need to take measures to improve the working conditions in these factories and to strictly implement labour laws.
