FRIDAY 25 FEBRUARY
No Sweat fashion shows for Haiti

The London College of Fashion 20 John Princes Street, London W1G 0BJ

No Sweat and the London Institute Students' Union are putting on two major
fashion shows, at 2.30 and 6.30, aiming to highlight the abuse of sweatshop
workers involved in garment production.

Tickets cost £2.50, money raised to Batay Ouvriye which is attempting to
unionise the Free Trade Zone on the Haitian-Dominican Republic border. In this FTZ
workers stitch Levi jeans for £10 a week and face anti-union violence from
right-wing militias hired by management.
