NEWSLETTER 12, MAY 2000
Editorial
|
Welcome to the 12th edition of the international newsletter. Find
in this newsletter reports on the campaigns in Europe; some of the
actions, debates and educational activities that are being developed.
You will by no means find a complete account of what's going on
in the Clean Clothes Campaigns in nine European countries, but you
will get an impression by reading the various articles. Also in
this issue, the ongoing pilot projects on independent monitoring.
Some companies have deserved some extra attention as they are certainly
not doing the right thing yet! The concept of Clean Clothes Communities,
in the US, the Netherlands and France might provide some new food
for local campaigning.
IRENE, together with the Clean Clothes Campaign, organised a seminar
on Workers' education and information on Codes of Conduct of which
an abstract can be found in this newsletter. Europe is preparing
for the European Football Championship and so is the Clean Clothes
Campaign. A separate issue of the newsletter, on labour conditions
in the sportswear industry, the sponsors, and the actions that we
will organise around this major sports event, will be available
shortly from the Clean Clothes Campaign international secretariat.
Remember - This newsletter is free of charge, and we encourage
readers to reprint or distribute any information found within.
