Sweatshops are a well-connected problem, with roots deep in our cultures and economic systems.
We have to act on different levels simultaneously. And we are working together. Consumers, workers, churches, students, unions, nonprofit organizations, governments and businesses are coming together to build critical mass and eradicate sweatshops. To hold companies accountable, the public must know where the goods they purchase were made and how the workers were treated. Full corporate disclosure backed with independent monitoring and punishment for violations are not only the way to prevent labor abuse, but social injustice and environmental damage as well.
