The Student Anti-Sweatshop Movement: Limits and Potential

Abstract

This article analyzes the student anti-sweatshop movement in the United States and its efforts to employ codes of conduct to secure improved conditions for workers in the international apparel industry. After discussing the globalization of that industry, the article examines the content of the codes of conduct that have been suggested by the student movement, on the one hand, and the members of the Apparel Industry Partnership, on the other. It concludes with a critique of the strategy of relying on codes of conduct and suggests that the pursuit of workers' rights should be sought in a strengthened International Labor Organization.
