Workers’ rights groups pursue Specialized for portion of $650K unpaid wages and benefits to factory workers

US bike brand Specialized is being asked to pay part of $659,000 owed to former workers of a factory in El Salvador which produced Specialized branded apparel.

The closure of the APS Salvador factory in August 2022 allegedly left around $2 million unpaid in severance packages, terminal benefits, and wages. The majority of this has now been repaid through contributions from several companies that used the factory as a supplier.
