In a breakthough for labour rights, Nike has agreed to pay £968,000 to garment workers after the closure of two of its subcontracors in Honduras. The clothing giant finally caved in after a year of mounting pressure from universities and grass roots campaigning by students across the US.

Trade unions and labour groups in Bangladesh continue their call upon international buyers to ensure the compensation meets the needs of  the families of the workers who died in a fire in the Garib & Garib factory in February this year.
