Clean Clothes Score Card
Test your clothes: are they clean?
The next time you buy clothes, ask the Retailer these questions:
- Does the retailer or any of her/his suppliers use homeworkers?
- Are they paid at least minimum wage?
- Are homeworkers paid on time?
- Are they paid for all hours of work?
- Are homeworkers given reasonable turn around time to complete a job?
- Has the original supplier registered for a Homeworkers permit, as required under the Employment Standards Act?
- Does the original supplier/employer make contributions to Unemployment Insurance and Canada Pension Plan?
- Were the homeworkers intimidated from joining the Homeworkers' Association?
A score of less than 8 YESes means the homeworker is not receiving fair wages and working conditions.
(that relates to my paper, yes)
