Blue Gum Clothing
USU suppliers such as Blue Gum are working together for an ethical local industry To tackle underpayment and poor conditions in the industry, various business and union representatives have come together as Ethical Clothing Australia (previously known as the Home workers Code of Practice and the No Sweat Shop label) to help local clothing businesses ensure that Australian workers making their products receive fair wages and work in decent conditions.
Please see attached a link below and a small blurb from some of our key suppliers and the improvements that are being made for a greener product.
