Events and Collaborations

Labour Behind the Label is currently working in joint partnership with the TUC to deliver the Playfair 2012 campaign.  Playfair 2012 believes that the Olympic movement can and should raise the bar for workers’ rights and is working towards this during the leadup to the 2012 Olympics in London. If you would like more information about how to be involved in this campaign visit www.playfair2012.org.uk or look at the campaign pages on this site.

On 5th April the LBL/TUC team organised a successful demo at the international Sportaccord Conference in Westminster and met for talks with the International Olympic Committee (IOC). (Photo courtesy of Jess Hurd, Report Digital).

Resources

We have a wide range of campaigning and awareness raising resources.  Our specific Playfair resources include action postcards with tear off cards to post to companies; a detailed and engaging teaching pack on sportswear production aimed at  students of varying levels; also posters and stickers to raise awareness.  We also have a wide range of materials covering  our other live campaigns and current reports. 

To order any of our resources please visit the resources section of this site - there is a shopping basket facility which allows postage to be paid online.  Alternately, please ring Bee in the LBL office on 0117 944 1700 to place an order; we ask for a discretionary donation for each order sent.
