Workers frequently face long hours, inadequate wages, harassment and abuse. While some resist such conditions by joining labor unions, many are prevented from doing so or find it difficult to adjust to transitory manufacturers. Because of these challenges, garment workers have reached out to allies across political borders in order to apply more pressure on garment manufacturers. The transnational anti-sweatshop network is at a critical stage in its development and is due for serious analysis. Advocacy Across Borders reveals the relationships that Northern-based NGOs forge in order to exert influence on powerful actors in the industry. An exhaustive dissection of the strategies of many organizations involved in this extensive network, Garwood's study points the way forward for civil society actors reaching across borders to advocate for a better world. 606 $aAnti-sweatshop movement 606 $aClothing trade$xMoral and ethical aspects 606 $aNon-governmental organizations 615 0$aAnti-sweatshop movement. 615 0$aClothing trade$xMoral and ethical aspects. 615 0$aNon-governmental organizations. 676 $a338.8/8787 700 $aGarwood$b Shae$f1974-$0998128 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820400903321 996 $aAdvocacy across borders$94108060 997 $aUNINA
