Take action
We’ve challenged sportswear brands to take a series of actions to overcome four major hurdles that block progress on worker rights in the sportswear industry. And we asked them to adopt targets for progress on each of those actions.
As this site demonstrates, not enough progress has been made by any of these sportswear brands. Some brands haven’t even agreed to try to meet these targets. That’s why we all need to keep pressuring these brands to guarantee that the workers who make their products are doing so under safe, stable and decent working conditions, and are paid a living wage.
You can help by:
- Sending an email to sportswear brands;
- Participating in ongoing campaigns on these issues; and
- Posting our video ad on your facebook page using this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=taa1yd7Aom4
