Leicester garment workers face exploitative practices, prompting community project Fab-L to assist in securing unpaid wages and promoting workers' rights. The project, backed by clothing brands, has helped workers recover £45,000 in unpaid wages and £160,000 in underpaid wages. Despite government support, workers still face challenges in accessing their rights, with some struggling to grasp the benefits of union membership.
