Sneaky Business: A global movement in support of footwear workers’ rights
People from all over the world are coming together in a march across continents to call on brands to support footwear workers’ rights.
The Sneaky Business march set off from Australia, and will travel through factories in Southeast Asia, China, and Central America before finishing at Nike’s headquarters in the USA.
In the next few months, people from countries across the globe are expected to join the march, which will ask that major footwear brands pay decent wages and respect the human rights of workers.
Those who take a journey through the Sneaky Business march will learn about working conditions in countries throughout the world.
The journey shows that poor working conditions are a global problem. Worker exploitation exists whether in Australia, South East Asia or Central America. However Sneaky Business also shows that doing the rights things is possible. In fact, a number of companies are working hard to ensure that workers are treated with dignity and have access to their rights.
The march is expected to reach its final destination in a few months’ time. At the end of the march Oxfam will deliver the marchers’ messages to several of the world’s largest footwear brands.
To join the march upload a picture of your sneakers and chose your message in support of workers’ rights.
