What’s involved?
As Melbourne gears up for the biggest race of the year, big label companies who make the fashion on the field will face court for breaches to the Federal Clothing Award. This means outworkers could suffer real risk of exploitation—not receiving proper wages or conditions.
FairWear will stage an action highlighting the names the major labels who will be prosecuted.
We will create a vibrant racing carnival with men and women dressed up to go to the races, paper horses, champagne and a cup outside the courthouse. In the middle of the scene, an outworker will sit on a machine sewing away.
