DVD
title: Twenty Pieces: Outworkers Tell the
Real Fashion Story
Australia, 1998 26 minutes
Description:
In-depth account of home working industry
in Australia. The current system allows
workers to be exploited and abused. Regulation
is advised by unions and campaigners.
In 1996, the ILO home workers agreement
was signed. This video challenges the
stereotype of home workers driving down
wages in the textile and clothing industry.
(When the real culprits are the employers
who depress wages due to paying inadequate
wages). Subtle explanation of relation
between immigration and home working.
Graphics, visually stunning, humane, informative,
lots of workers' testimonies. Imaginative
(some juxtaposing of black and white drawings
- patterns, workers - and real colour
images)
