HOW YOU CAN HELP
All around the world, people are working in
apalling conditions making the products that we buy here in our shops. CAFOD believes that
all companies who buy from Third World suppliers should abide by a "code of
conduct,", a list of minimum labour standards which would improve working conditions
:
No forced labour, no child labour (under 14 or
legal minimum if higher), inclusion in state or private social security benefit systems,
no use of temporary contracts to avoid obligations, adequate health and safety provision,
limits on working hours, a just wage, equality of treatment, and the right to organise.
CAFOD believes that dignified and justly paid
work is important for development
CAFOD needs to be able to prove to companies
that whilst people in Britain do want value for money they don't want it at the expense of
Third World workers.
