FairWear is launching its Stinky Store Campaign The first Stinky Store action will be at the Sussan store in Prahran near the corner of Commercial Rd and Chapel Sts. This Saturday, May 12 10.30 - 11am. Meet at the corner of Chapel st and Commercial rd on South side at 10.20am. The Homeworkers Code of Practice and the No Sweat Shop Label was officially launched on March 8, 2001. Retailers and manufacturers who have signed the Code have been given information and invited to become accredited under the Code. Accredited companies have to provide details of their contracting chain and will be monitored to ensure that workers are receiving their legal pay and entitlements. It would give them have permission to use the label in their garments and therefore provide a sign to consumers of the garments produced under fair conditions. So far only 2 companies have become accredited: Australian Defense Apparel and Resort Report. Companies like Sussan refuse to become accredited, refuse to write to their suppliers encouraging them to become accredited and refuse to support the label in their garments. Sussan is a symbol of all the stinky stores, consumers are ready to support the no sweat shop label initiative we just need the retailers and manufacturers to play their part in becoming NO SWEAT SHOPs.
