adidas steals from its workers.
While adidas calls itself the worldwide leader in sports,
it really excels at wage theft, labor rights violations, and harassment.
Workers are organizing and speaking up to let the world know the real adidas.
Read the open letter by garment worker unions to adidas’ CEO about the sale of the Yeezy shoes.
Garment worker unions from across borders have come together to say enough is enough:
It is time for adidas to sign a binding agreement on wages, severance, and the freedom to organize to ensure that workers in its supply chain are never again robbed of the money they’ve earned.

Adidas claims to advocate for women and against racism, yet it is mostly women of color who they are stealing from. What’s more, it’s been going on for years.

Spotlight: adidas’
legacy of theft
in Cambodia
In eight adidas supplier factories in Cambodia, workers are owed at least US$ 11.7 million in unpaid wages. When workers protest, adidas suppliers get them arrested.
Adidas and its suppliers also rob workers when they fire them. Workers of the Hulu Garment factory in Cambodia who were laid off in 2020 were never paid $1.1 million in legally-owed severance. This wage and severance theft stretches far beyond Cambodia, across adidas’ global supply chain.
