Footwear retailers Clarks and Skechers have been asked to address labour rights violations at a Taiwanese-owned footwear supplier in Guangdong in China.

The Brussels-based International Textile, Garment and Leather Workers’ Federation (ITGWLF) has asked the retailers how they plan to address these issues, in light of allegations that the company coaches workers on how to speak to compliance teams or monitoring staff who visit the facility, and threatens to fire workers who speak out.
ITGLWF General Secretary Neil Kearney commented, A recent China Labour Watch investigation revealed appalling conditions at the Kingmaker Zhuhai factory.
