The PayUp campaign has clawed back $22 billion from apparel companies owed to factories and workers, and they’re just getting started.

Pay Up Now just completed a compilation of corporate tax payments over the past five years, using SEC data as reported by the companies themselves. The firms chosen are top-earners who have filed 10-K reports through 2012. Their US Tax figures represent the five-year total of "current" payments.
