Pay cuts and forced overtime: COVID-19 takes heavy toll on Ethiopia s garment workers

Pay cuts and forced overtime: COVID-19 takes heavy toll on Ethiopia s garment workers reboot-live Emeline Wuilbercq HAWASSA, Ethiopia (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Even before COVID-19 struck, the women stitching clothes at Ethiopia’s Hawassa industrial park were among the world’s worst-paid garment workers - many making less than $30 per month. Today, pay cuts and forced overtime have become common in short-staffed factories abandoned by hundreds of former employees - some too scared of catching the coronavirus to return, several workers told the Thomson Reuters Foundation. Tigist, a 20-year-old seamstress, said some of her colleagues had not come back to Hawassa after they were furloughed in the early months of the pandemic, as the global garment industry was hammered by cancelled orders.

National polls show an increasing number of Americans are willing to get a coronavirus vaccine, but that some populations, particularly Black and Latino people, are reticent.
