Clean Clothes Campaign

How are they doing? - Clean Clothes Campaign report on progress in the sportswear industry on workers' rights for Turin 2006.

The 2006 Turin Olympic Winter Games mark the halfway point between Athens and Beijing, and so it is time to take stock of the progress made so far by the companies and organisations targeted [Asics, Fila (part of Sport Brands International), Kappa, Lotto, Mizuno, Puma, Umbro, International Olympic Committee, World Federation of Sporting Goods Industries (WFSGI)]... [Commitment] to the rights to a living wage and to freedom of association and collective bargaining, both in principle and in practice, is lacking. There is also much progress to be made in cooperation with local NGOs and trade unions on the ground. [also refers to Li & Fung]
