Clean Clothes Campaign introduces Europe Floor Wage

  

Clean Clothes Campaign has introduced the Europe Floor Wage: a cross-border base living wage benchmark for Central, East and Southeast Europe. The benchmark is based on the costs of living in 15 European garment production countries, including 7 EU member states. The methodology for the benchmark has been developed through 6 years of thorough research. During the development various experts were consulted within and outside the Clean Clothes Campaign network, among other the Asia Floor Wage Alliance.

The Europe Floor Wage benchmark is a concrete tool to show brands and governments what wage is needed to live on and it can be used by unions and labour NGOs to strengthen their bargaining power.

Mario Ivekovic, President, Novi Sindikat (New Union), Croatia demands public, concrete, measurable steps by retailers and brands to ensure garment workers are paid a living wage within a reasonable timeframe He urges the EU and national governments in consumer and producing countries in Europe to protect workers’ human right to a living wage and implement legal minimum wages that fight poverty.
