Adidas Working Conditions

EDM number 397 in 2012-13, proposed by Katy Clark on 12/07/2012.
Categorised under the topics of Manufacturing industries and Sports.

That this House expresses its concern at the Playfair report highlighting the conditions of Adidas workers in the run up to the London 2012 Olympics; notes that in countries such as Indonesia workers are paid as little as 34 pence an hour; further notes that the report has found that Adidas workers are employed without any job security and face harassment or dismissal if they organise trade unions and are often forced into working long hours to meet production targets; further notes that Adidas is the primary sponsor of Team GB; and calls on the Government to encourage all Olympic sponsors to promote safe and secure working standards for all their employees.

This motion has been signed by a total of 20 MPs.
