The same roundup notes Tiruppur dyeing units halting production, Karnataka workers protesting new pension rules, Colombia banning imports made with forced labor, and Albania's garment industry warning of factory closures and job losses. Together the items sketch a supply base under pressure from labor unrest, regulation and demand shifts across several producing countries.
