Clean Clothes Score Card
Test your clothes: are they clean?
The next time you buy clothes, ask the Retailer these questions:
  1. Does the retailer or any of her/his suppliers use homeworkers?
  2. Are they paid at least minimum wage?
  3. Are homeworkers paid on time?
  4. Are they paid for all hours of work?
  5. Are homeworkers given reasonable turn around time to complete a job?
  6. Has the original supplier registered for a Homeworkers permit, as required under the Employment Standards Act?
  7. Does the original supplier/employer make contributions to Unemployment Insurance and Canada Pension Plan?
  8. 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)

Oh that I was where I would be, there I would be where I am not, here am I where I must be, go where I would I can not. Come diddle-ai-day oh little ai oh day
