Are you aware that the t-shirt or running shoes you are wearing may have been produced by children as young as 13, working 14-hour days for 30 cents an hour? Or that Michael Jordan earned more for endorsing Nike running shoes than the company's 200,000 strong Asian workforce get between them in a year. In hard-hitting words and pictures, No Sweat tells the story of the chasm between the glamor of the catwalk and the squalor of the sweatshop. Analysis, and tools for action to join the growing global campaign of consumer groups, human rights activists and international labor organizations to close down the sweatshops and guarantee basic rights for those who cut and sew our clothes. Don't go shopping without it.
