In its response to our press release, [...] the company claims there are no justifiable grounds for this route to obtain justice for the 327 workers still fighting for their rights in Indonesia...

Clean Clothes Campaign as one of the complainants in this case, objects against these arguments, and argues that the global sportswear brand is responsible to ensure adequate remediation for the 327 workers for the following reasons: 

...Adidas has acknowledged that the strike, and therefore the dismissal of 1,300 workers, directly rooted in the prior dismissal of union leaders in February 2012 and the non-payment of the minimum wage, both violations taking place when Adidas production took place in the Panarub Dwikarya factory. Therefore the expectation to Adidas to mitigate the negative human rights impacts after the strike are justified...

[W]hatever the responsibilities are of the Indonesian government [...] the UN Guiding Principles are firmly stating that companies like Adidas have an independent responsibility to ensure human rights are upheld throughout their supply chains, and that they use their leverage to mitigate negative impacts that are linked to their business.

...Bringing this case to the German National Contact Point for the OECD Guidelines, therefore, is a justified step to further pursue justice for the 327 workers who up to date remain without proper remedy.
