Aussie brands need to monitor labour: Oxfam
Monday, March 23, 2009
Human rights charity Oxfam says a growing number of Australian clothing retailers are running the risk of producing their products in sweatshops overseas.
Oxfam has today released a report researching 26 major Hong Kong-based clothing companies, and rating them on how seriously they are tackling the issue of sweatshops.
The report gives low ratings to Li and Fung - the same company that manufactures for Pacific Brands, Just Jeans and Myers.
