Our supervisors have become more serious about paying attention to our problems since they know we can call the Amader Kotha Helpline. Currently, if we face any problem we report it to our supervisor; if it is not solved, then we inform our management representatives about the issue. If the problem is still not resolved, we call Amader Kotha Helpline and get it resolved. We are very happy with role the Helpline plays.

The Amader Kotha Helpline is an important tool to listen to the voices of workers. Workers with access to the helpline have told me they feel safer because they trust it and have seen it work. Worker voice is important to Walmart’s work to create a safer, healthier and more responsible global supply chain. Making this tool available to more factories reassures us that more workers are able to report issues and get resolution, leading to safer conditions and their peace of mind.

If workers have concerns about their working environment, we should know about them so we can find solutions before they escalate. As a supplement to the systems we already have in place in the factory to respond to workers’ problems, the Helpline is an invaluable tool. All factories can benefit by supporting the Amader Kotha Helpline.
