How to Find Anti-Sweat Organizations
(return to Sweatshop Research Guide)
divider2.gif (934 bytes)

1. Use a Search Engine:
   
Type in the phrase "anti-sweatshop," or "anti" and
    "sweatshop" and "organization." See what you come
    up with. My favorite search engines include:
   
Google
   
C4
   
AllTheWeb
   
Keep in mind that the so-called "Fair Labor
    Association" is not considered by many to be a true
    anti-sweat organization.
