'GAG STAR'
action during biggest ever anti-sweatshop meeting
in Bangkok
Last
week, the biggest ever anti-sweatshop meeting took
place in Bangkok, Thailand.
More than a hundred researchers, lawyers and
activists from leading labour rights organisations
in North and Central America, Africa, Asia, Australia
and Europe gathered together and expressed their
solidarity with the Clean Clothes Campaign and
its Indian partner organisations.
During the meeting G-Star - FFI's biggest buyer
- was dubbed GAG Star, using the participants
as letters. The participants urge G-Star to speak
out and use its influence over FFI to make it
lift the gag orders, withdrawal the unjust court
cases, and improve working conditions at the factory.
