"I was a garment worker. I know how the system works." - Beth Macpherson on Empowering Fashion Workers through Ethical Clothing Australia (opens the original)
Read excerpt
"Oh, but we buy Australian-made. Exploitation is something that happens elsewhere!" Time to bust that myth, says this week's guest, Australian union organiser - and former garment worker - Beth Macpherson. In this warm and enlightening conversation we discuss: the evolution and changing shape of Australia's domestic manufacturing in the textiles, clothing and footwear sector; what's gone and what's left; Beth's own experience working in factories during boom time in the 1970s and '80s, before pr
Hope in Times of Oppression with Khalid Mahmood from Pakistan's Labour Education Foundation (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On the surface this is our first episode on the textile, clothing and footwear industry in Pakistan. The industry is major player in the country’s economy, contributing significantly to exports and employing more than half of its workforce.

How Ethical are My Sneakers? Niki Gamara on Speaking Out for Workers (opens the original)
Read excerpt
How much do we really know about how our clothes and shoes are made? Or even where? While the latter is routinely included on care labels, that’s often the end of the story, at least the one the brands want to tell you. Despite years of campaigning by groups like Fashion Revolution, Labour Behind the Label and Clean Clothes Campaign , many of us still have no idea who made our clothes and under what conditions. Did you even know the Philippines is an important garment producer for brands like Lu
