Solidarity Center Report: Ensuring Safety in Jordan

The “Made in Jordan” label is familiar to U.S. consumers shopping for shirts, jeans and other clothes. Mervat Jumhawi, a Jordanian union organizer, is actively ensuring the largely migrant workforce that cuts and sews these garments does so in safe conditions, receives fair wages and is treated with respect on the job.“I was a garment worker and I know what exploitation is, I knows what that means," she says.
Find out how Jumhawi is helping migrant workers improve their lives on the job and more news at the Solidarity Center.
