When workers, supported by their unions, demand a workplace free from #GBVH that is backed by binding commitments from brand customers, a transformative program is possible.

[WSR Network @WSRNetwork]

Good to see this finally happening - too many companies continue to hide behind social audits to make the case that they can meet their human rights obligations *and* operate in an environment of state-sponsored forced labor.

The experience of dairy workers in the #MilkWithDignity program is entirely different than the world outside the program who routinely experience "poor wages, unsafe working conditions, inadequate housing, & discrimination."

This is the difference that WSR makes.

[Migrant Justice @MigrantJustice]

“Out of over 200 migrant dairy workers surveyed in Vermont this year, 77% say they have suffered an accident or injury at work and 87% make lower than the minimum wage"
