Alle Tags anzeigen
In January 2012, Students & Scholars Against Corporate Misbehaviour (SACOM) released: “LOCOG’s Empty Promise to Respect Labour Rights: Olympic mascots made in sweatshops”. The report alleges numerous labour rights abuses at Yancheng Rainbow Arts and Crafts Company, which is supplying official merchandise for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The report makes a number of recommendations to the London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games (LOCOG). Also in January 2012 the Sun newspaper wrote 3 articles about the allegations. These articles also include comments from LOCOG, John Lewis, and Golden Bear, which the Yancheng Rainbow Arts and Crafts Company also allegedly supplies with Olympic-themed goods.
