Exploitative Labor Makes Mockery of Upcoming Olympics

There’s a shocking hypocrisy in the upcoming Olympic Games. The official promotional theme of this August’s Games is “Celebrate Humanity,” yet, ironically, the labor practices of Fila and the other official suppliers of the Games (sportswear giants like Umbro, Puma, Asics, Lotto, Kappa and Mizuno) violate accepted international labor standards!

The workers, mostly women, responsible for producing the gear the athletes will wear this August work in terrible conditions with few rights – they endure forced overtime, fines for mistakes, and threats of being fired for joining unions. Hardly a “celebration of humanity”…

That’s why Oxfam America launched PlayByTheRules.org, a new U.S.-focused campaign that’s part of a larger global effort to use the power of consumer pressure to convince Fila and the other Olympics suppliers to the appalling working conditions in their supply factories.
