Juhlaa Sri Lankassa: Ammattiliitto voittaa suuren voiton ja QR-koodit valtaavat vaatealan

cab startup - debt repayment - gig economy - labor union - Peace Corps - QR codes - Sri Lanka

Ammattiliitto nappasi upean voiton Sri Lankassa, ja QR-koodit valtaavat vaateteollisuuden normiksi! 🎉

Sri Lankan ammattiliitto, Free Trade Zones and General Services Employees Union (FTZ&GSEU), voitti voiton saadessaan 18 jäseneensä takaisin palvelukseensa. Aasian kehityspankin ja IFRS:n tukemana Sri Lanka tulee liittämään QR-koodit kaikkiin vaatealan tuotteisiin. Tämä merkitsee merkittävää muutosta vaateteollisuudessa, sillä QR-koodit mahdollistavat tuotteiden jäljitettävyyden tehokkaasti. Vaikka ammattiliiton voitto ja QR-koodien käyttöönotto ovat erillisiä tapahtumia, ne kertovat molemmat muutoksen tuulista Sri Lankan teollisuudessa. Jännittävät uudistukset odottavat Sri Lankan vaatealalla!
