The Vatican says the decriminalization of homosexuality only intended to remove the gender gap, believes that France's proposal presented at the UN is promoting "a wrong idea of \u200b\u200bparity." considers that the document submitted by France to the UN for universal decriminalization of homosexuality is "beyond" that goal and it aims to "remove" the difference between the sexes.

Archbishop Celestino Migliore, said yesterday's session of the UN that the Holy See "appreciates" the efforts to "condemn any form of violence "against homosexuals and" pushing "for states to take action, but that the document" goes beyond "... and the Vatican newspaper said. Migliore said" This document in fact it is promoting the ideology of gender identity and sexual orientation, status as international law no clear definition and try to apply them to human rights. By inserting the anchor refuses biological sexual differentiation.

According to the Vatican is not marginal ideas and the aim is that the polarity heterosexual "is not a fundamental element of society, but something that must be canceled ".
denounce that is to equate same-sex unions marriage and same-sex couples "to adopt or 'breed' children." The Vatican states that the introduction of these categories "threatening" the exercise of other human rights such as freedom of expression, of thought, conscience and religion.

2008: shameful inaction InternacionaI Olympic Committee on Labor Rights

PlayFair 2008, an international mobilization in 35 countries, requires positive action to resolve the situation in the supply chains of Olympic items

" It has been five years since we first called on the IOC to stand up for the workers producing officers for the Olympic Games, but nothing happens. Again, money is pouring into the coffers of the Olympic Movement, but the workers who create the wealth are still being ripped off "- Guy Ryder, Secretary General of the International Trade Union Confederation
Campaigners Play Fair 2008 global will face this Sunday, August 3 in Hong Kong the International Olympic Committee ( IOC) to protest their inaction regarding widespread exploitation of workers and that articles manufactured under license Olympic . begin at 10:00 hours on Sunday front of the Cultural Centre Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade and awaits a whole day of activities including taking pictures and a speakers' corner , protesters will show the IOC that their lack of commitment to the basic rights of workers is unacceptable.

there a "roadmap" that defines the specific steps that the IOC needs to take to fulfill its responsibility to prevent the violation of labor rights - low wages, child labor and excessive overtime - in chains Olympic supply. Although the plan has widespread support the IOC has refused to act.

" Instead of acting properly on the reports of fair play, which provided clear evidence of labor violations, the IOC simply passed the buck to the Beijing organizers, without having resolved the fundamental problems "said Esther de Haan of Clean Clothes Campaign.

The Play Fair's research into factories in China producing Olympics merchandise revealed numerous violations international labor standards law and china. The IOC has not properly followed the 2007 report, has not lifted a finger to ensure that Olympic products not manufactured with sweatshop labor. The full list organizations that appeal to the IOC to take action is available in http://www.playfair2008.org/ .

While the IOC has been unable to act, companies in the sector are showing signs of recognizing the extent of the problem and the failure of traditional corporate social responsibility. At a meeting in Hong Kong in early July, the organization of fair play and sporting goods companies agreed to form a working group to address the root causes of poor working conditions in the sector. In addition, several national Olympic committees are willing to work on this issue. So, it is obvious that the IOC is getting ago and has not taken steps to improve labor conditions in their supply chains.

" The IOC needs to set the pace, not be a perpetual laggard, leaving workers vulnerable to exploitation and abuse when they are making Olympics products " said Neil Kearney, Secretary General of the International Federation Textile, Garment and Leather. " has already passed the opportunity to make real changes for the Beijing Games, but we will continue our campaign until the day the IOC assume its responsibilities."

This action aims ask the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to take concrete measures to improve the employment situation in the factories where they are made of licensed Olympic sports.

While Fair Play is committed to the sports industry and some National Olympic Committees, the IOC continues to refuse to address the issue of labor rights violations in the supply chains of articles for the Olympics. The most we have done is say they will consider the working conditions for the selection of the city acojerá Olympics 2016. On the one hand, it is unclear what will demand by 2016 and on the other hand, this is a very distant date which is another 8 years of inaction and no improvement for the workers.

The action of August 3 includes a press conference for journalists interested, a "corner speaker" and an opportunity to take photographs that illustrate the actions.


The press release on the event will be available on this page on 3 August. FAIR PLAY campaign 2008 / Play Fair 2008 is not closed to this event and will from now on alert to the commitments to be taken by the IOC.

One month after the start of the Olympic Games in Beijing, the main sportswear brands have held a meeting with unions and non-governmental organizations comprising Play Fair 2008, to study how to promote freedom of association and collective bargaining and improved wages throughout the sector, among other issues. In this working group brands include Nike, Adidas, New Balance, Umbro and Speedo.

It seeks a better understanding on the mechanisms of production, costs and productivity as well as information necessary for effective collective bargaining. Also address other issues such as training of managers and workers, temporary employment and the need to establish procedures that guarantee the rights of workers in the closure of a factory - a system of compensation, etc..

Play Fair 2008 closed with activities in several cities and sends a message to the textile industry brands

During the past two weeks, the organizations of the Platform Play Fair 2008 has been active in solidarity with the workers of the textile industry international sports. The 2008 season was closed successfully with various sporting events (Olympics, pentathlon, bicycles) in several cities: Pamplona Pamplona, \u200b\u200bVigo, Pontevedra, Santiago de Compostela, Ourense, Bilbao, Zaragoza and Barcelona.





Pentathlon Play Fair at the Pavilion of La Casilla Bilbao on July 28




Net Bike Ride in Barcelona on June 28







Olympics Clean in the Vuelta del Castillo in Pamplona on June 14







bike clean on the streets of Zaragoza on June 27







These activities are aimed at sending a message of concern not only the International Olympic Committee but also the textile industry brands sporting the lack of progress to improve the lives of workers and workers who make their products.

Next find the manifesto read on the Net Bike Ride held in Barcelona on June 28th pass with the help of Friends of the Bike .

been 15 years since the first international mobilization for the rights of women workers and workers in the textile industry sports and 4 years from the Play Fair at the Olympics in Athens.


Major brands in this industry have advertised with great self-satisfaction the adoption of codes of conduct and social responsibility measures, which they say guarantee that in the production of clothes and shoes there is no exploitation work.


However, the work of NGOs and trade unions in North and South show a very different reality:
  • Research by Play Fair at the end of 2007 shows how, Although codes of conduct, workers and workers who make the products Nike, Adidas, Reebok, Asics and New Balance, among others, are the consequences of the enormous pressure to meet deadlines getting shorter priced ever lower, in the form of working hard with no overtime pay is recorded or
  • factories working for the big sportswear companies always find the mechanisms for paying wages below the minimum established by the laws of the countries where production occurs by setting impossible goals. And this despite the fact that working hours are higher at 12 hours.
  • soccer balls produced in the province of Jalandhar (India) are mostly sewn by people working at home charging between 25 and 65 cents euro per ball (the same ball that comes to sell at 120 euros).

  • The workers who stitch balls in Pakistan are between 30 and 45 cents per ball.

  • Workers and Cambodja workers receive an average wage of 65 euros per month.

  • in Bangladesh do not get to pay the minimum wage of 20 euros a month.

These realities are possible:
- For the great insecurity of labor markets due to pressure from multinational corporations


- The union of business strategy that prevents workers to organize to defend their interests,

- The instability of trade relations imposed by large international firms.

Today in Hong Kong a meeting between representatives of the Play Fair 2008 campaign and representatives of the firms major sportswear. At this meeting, the Play Fair 2008 campaign and all entities and organizations give support requiring businesses:

1 - To take concrete steps to develop an environment that is conducive to freedom of association and col Ectiva,

2 - To ensure the elimination of poor to the supply chain,

3 - to be over with the policy of closures and relocation of factories,

4 - To take measures effective in improving the incomes of workers and employees to achieve a living wage.

Earwax After A Shower

Today Friday May 9 at 11 am in Madrid, PLAY FAIR presents the report "Clearing the Hurdles"


discredit to the sporting goods industry to the new allegations on working conditions.

The countdown to the Beijing Olympics has started and the workers who produce sportswear for international companies, they spend millions on sponsorship Olympic and Sports are still working excessive hours and receive low wages. Are the main conclusions of the report "Saving obstacle steps to improve wages and working conditions in the global sportswear industry " presented by PlayFair 2008. Although codes of conduct adopted by most major brands for over 15 years, we see that workers continue to face enormous pressure to meet production quotas, put many hours which are recorded or not are paid, suffered verbal violence, working in deplorable conditions health and safety and will not meet the legal obligation to provide health insurance programs and other types of insurance.


" There has been no real progress since the Athens Games " - activists say PlayFair 2008.

In China, workers stuck shoes for less than $ 1.25 a day stitching footballs for 30 cents each.


Based on interviews with more than 300 workers in the sportswear industry in China, India, Thailand and Indonesia, the report "Clearing the Hurdles " shows that violations of the rights of workers are still the rule in this sector, including in workplaces producing for adidas, sponsor of the Beijing Games and London and numerous national Olympic teams.

The report identifies four key barriers to those faced by the industry summarized in low wages, the increase short-term contracts, the violation of the right to freedom of association and collective bargaining , and the closure of factories due the restructuring of the sector. So, Play Fair 2008 has invited the leaders of this market to participate in June at a meeting in Hong Kong to discuss his commitment against the specific proposals made in the report.


Last year, Play Fair published a report on violations of labor rights in the production of Olympic-branded goods, and has since tried to get a concrete commitment by the International Olympic Committee on how it will follow up on these issues. " Five years after we first approached the IOC to address this issue, no compromise has been reached concrete by hand, and yet it remains unclear what measures will be taken on the outstanding issues regarding labor rights. We are ready to begin working immediately with them to achieve concrete results "said the Secretary General of the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC), Guy Ryder.

Dear textile industry officials in sports:

Can you imagine working 12 or 13 hours a day, 7 days a week without winning a minimum wage? Can you imagine living in the same place where they work each day?, "Having to share his bed with a coworker and a room with 15? Surely you, these issues do not worry that your income level makes you immune to this situation, which in turn is the reality for many workers in your company subsidiary factories.

According to a new report from Play Fair 2008 ( PLAY FAIR 2008 ), wages in the textile industry are very low global sport, which caught my attention given the high profits of leading companies like yours. In my view, this contrast is unacceptable and for this reason, I beg to undertake concrete actions as soon as possible for workers to earn a decent wage. I have seen the report "Clearing the Hurdles " of fair play offers concrete proposals to improve this situation, so I ask you to take into account its recommendations in order to achieve the stated objectives. I know

sportswear companies like yours do not own factories where it produces its goods. However, I am convinced that their purchasing policy with suppliers, and specifically the prices they're paying, can play a decisive role in setting the salary of workers in these factories. I understand that increasing the price paid for the brands do not automatically lead to higher salaries and can not easily raise prices without other mechanisms to ensure that these margins are for the salaries of employees. On the other hand, I am aware that the factory owners need to be assured that the brands do not take their production elsewhere if production costs rise.

The fact that Yue Yuen produces for many leading brands online, and is a powerful player in this sector, its production network is a good base for the sport industura start looking for solutions to improve the working conditions of workers. For this reason I send this message also.

know that changes need time to get out. FAIR PLAY campaign has proposed several concrete proposals so that you, as leader of the textile sport can begin to work towards a better quality employment for workers who despite earning so little, they contribute directly to earnings .

Pay them a living wage is a matter of respect. For them and for you too.

Sincerely,
