The Playfair 2012 campaign ran for three years in the run up to the London Olympics. Thank you to everyone who took part! During the campaign we lobbied London games organisers, LOCOG and major sportswear brands and sponsors to ensure that workers' rights were upheld in the production of their kit and merchandise. We had some success. Here is a little summary of what was achieved.

The Olympic torch relay and the symbolism of the Olympic torch, respect, excellence and friendship, provide a fantastic opportunity for us to demand an Olympics that respects the human rights of all workers who help to make the Games possible.

Workers making Olympic sportswear for London 2012 for top brands and high street names including Adidas and Next are being paid poverty wages, forced to work excessive overtime and threatened with instant dismissal if they complain about working conditions, according to a new report.

A recent investigation by The Independent reveals workers at nine Indonesian factories contracted to produce Olympic shoes and clothing for Adidas are working up to 65-hour weeks and earning as little as 34p an hour.

Following some months of collecting cards and petitions from supporters around the country, Playfair campaign representatives held an awareness raising action in Covent Garden last Wednesday (4th April) to demonstrate the mega profits earned by the sporting industry in comparisson to the poverty pennies earned by workers producing its goods.

The struggle for rights for workers producing goods and merchandise for the Olympic brand continues, a report published by the Play Fair Campaign shows. 'Toying with Workers' Rights' investigates the true life accounts of workers in China producing Olympic branded goods for the London Olympic games.
