On 22nd April, join anti-sweatshop activists from around the world at Footlocker stores across Europe and the US to call on them to drop adidas from their stores until they pay ex-PT Kizone workers the $1.8million they are owed in unpaid severance. This will mark the beginning of a week of action in the UK that will ramp up the pressure on the UK’s biggest retailer of adidas footwear.

Actions are already planned across the country and more will be announced soon. Click on the dots on the map below to find out more about the action in your area.

Footlocker represents a key source of profit for Adidas internationally and, as one of Adidas’ biggest retailers, they could play a huge role in getting them to pay up, so we’re demanding they stand up and call on Adidas to ensure these workers are paid what they are owed.

Join the Footlocker International Day of Action on 22nd April, take action another day that week, or if you really love workers, every day that week.

If there isn't an action already listed then why not organise your own? Find out where your nearest Footlocker store is located, get a group of friends together and take action!  This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

And if you can't come along at all (or even if you can) then join us virtually by taking part in our Thunderclap action. This will help us get the message out by highlighting the campaign on hundreds of facebook and twitter pages, coinciding with the shop actions taking place on the 22nd April.

In January 2011, the owner of PT Kizone in Indonesia fled, resulting in the closure of the factory in April the same year, and leaving 2,800 workers without work and the severance pay they were entitled to. Sportswear brand adidas had been sourcing from PT Kizone for many years, where workers were paid as little as US$ 0.60 an hour.

So far adidas are refusing to pay a cent towards the compensation fund for PT Kizone workers.

Take action today! Fill in the form below to call on adidas to step up its game on workers' rights and demand justice for Kizone workers.

Re: PT Kizone (Indonesia): Outstanding severance payments I am writing to you to share my deep concerns regarding the payment of money owed to workers at your former Indonesian supplier, PT Kizone. I understand from Labour Behind the Label that PT Kizone in Indonesia closed in April 2011 after the owner fled the country. This has left 2800 workers without employment and owed US$3.4 million in severance entitlement. They are unlikely to be able to claim this money through any legal process. As a long standing buyer at PT Kizone adidas had responsibility for ensuring the factory was operating in a manner that was compliant with Indonesian law, international labour standards and adidas' own code of conduct. It is clear that adidas failed to do so as no funds to pay the workers’ severance were available. Therefore adidas now has responsibility for rectifying these violations and ensuring workers are provided with the severance pay to which they are legally entitled. Other buyers from the factory have now paid a total of US$ 1.6 million towards these debts, but adidas have so far refused to contribute. I am therefore calling on adidas to pay the remaining US$ 1.8 million plus interest to former PT Kizone workers. PT Kizone workers have spent many years producing goods for adidas and deserve to have their rights respected. As a consumer I am interested in the working conditions provided at your production sites. I therefore urge you to: pay the workers the outstanding US$ 1.8 million severance payments including interest; to offer the unemployed former-PT Kizone workers jobs at the same contractual conditions and not to discriminate against anybody because of age, demands made to adidas or other criteria; these jobs must be close to their homes to avoid tearing families apart; to engage positively in this process with the union representing the majority of the workers, DPC SPSI TSK; to act in accordance with the principle of due diligence in the future employment of these and other workers.
