Qingdao:Customers shop for 2008 Olympics merchandisehttp://2008.sina.com.cn August 31, 2007 19:28 AFP
CHINA, QINGDAO : Customers shop for Beijing 2008 Olympics merchandise at a shop in Qingdao, 24 August 2007, in eastern China's Shandong province. Two Chinese firms licensed to produce merchandise for the Beijing Olympic Games were fined a total of 1.3 million yuan (166,000 USD) for exploiting workers earlier this month, after they, along with two other companies, were cited this year for labour abuses in a report issued by the Playfair 2008 campaign. The campaign, driven by the international union movement, seeks to end exploitation of workers by sportswear and athletics goods companies. AFP PHOTO/Frederic J. BROWN |
