All the latest news from the UK campaign against sweatshop labour.
Get your No Sweat pack!
No Sweat - Britain's fast-growing anti-sweatshop campaign - will send you a pack of materials including anti-Nike stickers, leaflets, postcards and posters.
No Sweat seeks to highlight the terrible pay, appalling conditions and lack of rights of hundreds of millions of sweatshop workers worldwide. We target the big firms as well as leafleting sweatshops in London's East End demanding union rights. We raise cash for the Indonesian unions, and we help form links between British trade unions and sweatshop workers' organisations in the so-called 'Third World'. Sound good? Get involved!
Just email us: admin@nosweat.org.uk
They'll also send speakers for debates at your school or college if asked!

Tolpuddle festival
Get away with No Sweat
Fancy camping at the annual Tolpuddle festival, Dorset, in celebration of the beginnings of British trade unionism and in the memory of those activists transported to Australia for 'administering an illegal oath'?
There'll be No Sweat workshops and training, plus beer and cider, sun, music, lots of politics, Billy Bragg, Tony Benn and a big march in commemoration of the martyrs on the Sunday. Bags of fun for all the family - except parents.
Cost on the No Sweat transport from London (including campsite fees): £35
Friday 18 - Sunday 20 July

Students and workers unite:
US students go on hunger strike for living wage.
Students and workers at Stanford University in America have been struggling for years to win a living wage, access to health care, equal pay for equal work, access to education, and the right to organise. At the end of May six Stanford students began fasting for a comprehensive Code of Conduct to establish labour standards for all workers at Stanford University and Stanford Hospital.
