Orljava workers museumized their broken relationship with Olymp

Women garment workers from Croatian factory Orljava are owed more than 450,000 euros in severance pay after their exclusive buyer, German brand Olymp, started cutting their orders during Covid, which resulted in 100 layoffs. In July 2021, the remaining 172 were layed off. Workers, supported by trade unions and organizations that are a part of Clean Clothes Campaign from around the world, on Tuesday, July 5, handed over several mementos from the closed factory, as a symbol of their violated labor rights and the broken relationship with Olymp.

Konfekcijskim radnicama hrvatske tvornice Orljava duguje se više od 450.000 eura otpremnine nakon što im je njihov ekskluzivni kupac, njemački brend Olymp, počeo smanjivati narudžbe tijekom Covida, zbog čega 100 ugovora na određeno nije produženo. U srpnju 2021. otpuštene su i ostale 172 radnice. Radnice su u utorak 5. srpnja, uz potporu sindikata i organizacija koje su dio Clean Clothes kampanje iz cijelog svijeta, predale nekoliko uspomena iz zatvorene tvornice kao simbol narušenih radničkih prava i prekinute veze s Olympom.
