Oxfam backs campaign to protect sportswear industry workers
The Clean Clothes Campaign, Global Unions and Oxfam have launched a worldwide campaign to protect sportswear industry workers’ rights in the run up to the Athens Olympics.
‘Play Fair at the Olympics’ is targeting the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and companies such as Fila, Puma, Umbro, Asics and Mizuno, which it is claimed are violating the rights of millions of workers around the world in order to fill shops with the latest and cheapest sports shoes, clothes and accessories in time for the event.
