Campaign Profile: No Sweat
No Sweat is an activist,campaigning organisation, fighting sweatshop bosses, in solidarity with
workers, worldwide. Sweatshop labour is modern global capitalism stripped bare. From the small, back-street sweat-shop to
some of the biggest corporations in the world - child labour, forced overtime, poverty wages, unsafe conditions, harassment
of women workers and intimidation of trade unionists are commonplace.
No Sweat stands for workers' solidarity. We are for:
- A living wage
-
- Safe working conditions
- Independent trade unions
All workers, in every country, deserve and need these rights. In order to enforce these rights, they need to be free to
organise.
We aim to:
- Make solidarity with sweatshop workers and their organisations
- Help unionise sweatshops in Britain
- Publicise, expose and help stamp out sweatshop employment.
We organise direct action to target the big brand abusers; bring inspiring activists from around the world over to
the UK to talk to people and make direct links of solidarity; put on benefits to raise money to help workers' organisations
in the sweatshops to take on their bosses; and take action here in the UK.
No Sweat is an open, broad-based campaign. We look tothe anti-capitalist protest movements and to the international
workers' movement. We seek to build common, united, campaigning action against exploitation.
