The Khaadi company in Pakistan is one of the country’s largest textile and garment brands and owns many factories. There is an escalating campaign by both workers and labour activists against the company’s treatment of its workers and the repression of union activists. Most of its workforce is employed by sub-contracting companies, working under brutal conditions of 12 hours and more a day, having limited break times, unsafe and unsanitary conditions, and being locked inside the factory. Workers are organising to defend and advance their rights while supporters are calling for a boycott of Khaadi products.
