UNfair Aussie Fashion Designers

November 6th 2007 06:19
Do you know how many Aussie Fashion Designers have NOT YET signed the Fair Wear Accord?

Lots! I was reading the Sunday papers about how many designers were using the

"It's the subcontractors fault"


excuse for not finishing off the process of signing the accords.

Yeah right and its the subcontractor's fault and of course not the unnamed but notorious developer ME ..... my entire balcony / terrace which we paid extra for had to have all the tiles

ripped and the sealant replaced etcetc ... whoever is to blame designer cusotmer or subcontractor (for being greedy) we should all be acting to protect worker's rights ... like these women are getting about $2.50 a hour for sewing haut couture! Is that fair?

If you want to check out who has and hasnt signed the accords visit the Fair Wear Campaign web site.

Prepare to be scared upset and disgusted!
