Investigation reveals: Socks supplied to schools by RJ McCarthy's are being made under terrible conditions

After years of campaigning, the truth is coming out about where and under what conditions some uniforms are being made... Investigation for Catholic School Boards uncovers worker rights violations in factory producing school uniforms

This collaboration of students, teachers, school boards and Development and Peace is making a difference. Now that these conditions have been exposed, pressure can be exerted to improve factory conditions. More action ideas to follow soon...
