Australian retailers pressuring suppliers durid Covid 19
The Coronavirus pandemic is hitting retailers in Australia hard with many stores shut and shopping is limited to online stores. These tough times have not just hit the retailers but has had a roll on affect by hitting the suppliers of these stores as well.
Many Australian clothing brands are deciding that will put some of the burden on the suppliers by postponing payments for orders and even cancelling orders due to the virus. There has also been attempts to get discounts worth millions of dollars on orders from suppliers. Many of these suppliers are from Bangladesh and this has caused a lot of pain for the clothing manufacturers and the workers there, mostly women. A delay of payments for these workers will be devastating for them as many are relying on the income to feed their families.
The issue here is that many of these garment makers are some of the lowest paid people in the world and the pressure put on suppliers may jeopardise their income.
Not all clothing stores have been so brutal however with many international brands such as Nike and Uniqlo advising that they will pay for orders in full.
