This week, after a long campaign by workers and labour activist, the leading apparel company of Khaadi signed a new agreement with its workforce. The estimated 6,000 workers will now have standardised written contracts, decreased overtime, guarantees against gender discrimination, secure social security payments, access to bonuses, and access to clean drinking water as well as other health and safety improvements. This was an important victory as labour activists believe that this could be used as an example for other large employers in the garment sector of Pakistan.
