Report: NFL & NBA Jerseys Made By Sweatshop Workers

HeadlineJul 25, 2005

The National Labor Committee is back in the news again. The New York-based labor rights watchdog made international headlines in 1997 when it revealed that clothing lines run by Kathie Lee Gifford used sweatshop labor. Now the organization claims it has evidence that sweatshop workers in Honduras are making popular athletic apparel for Reebok bearing the names of professional basketball and football stars. On Friday, the group’s executive director Charlie Kernaghan led a protest outside the NBA shop on Fifth Avenue in New York City.
