FairWare action against top fashion labels
|
The Textile Clothing and Footwear Union of Australia (TCFUA) launched legal action against 11 clothing labels in the Federal Court in Melbourne. The union alleges the companies behind labels including Rich, Vicious Threads, TL Wood Australia and Frou Frou have breached laws designed to protect outworkers from being exploited.
Protesters gathered outside court this morning, some wearing the names of the labels on sashes across their bodies and sipping champagne, while others stood behind them holding cardboard horses and placards reading "stop sweatshops"...more more info: Uniting Church FairWare Campaign | Textile Workers Union (TCFUA) Labels: Community Protest, FairWear |
