lululemon’s supply chain has been linked to multiple, independent incidents of anti-union activity at supplier facilities. In February 2025, a remediation report documented illegal firings of workers at a Lululemon supplier factory in Indonesia. The report noted management installed purple flags by the machines of workers suspected of union organizing, creating an atmosphere of surveillance and intimidation.

Separately, an independent investigation in October 2020, conducted by a Fair Labor Association-affiliated firm, identified freedom of association violations at a Lululemon supplier. While the full findings are not public, the investigation was prompted by worker complaints regarding organizing rights.

These incidents in the supply chain, occurring in different years and countries, indicate a pattern where facilities producing Lululemon goods have actively interfered with workers' right to organize. The company’s reliance on local laws to address forced labor, as noted in a 2023 report, further suggests a systemic approach that may fail to proactively protect organizing rights.
