Institute for Global Labour and Human Rights

The Institute for Global Labour and Human Rights is a local organization with a worldwide reach that doesn’t allow the abuse of workers to go unnoticed no matter where it occurs. The organization was established in Pittsburgh in 1981 as the National Labor Committee and has offices and research groups in Bangladesh, China, Central America, and Jordan.
Back in June, The Institute published an expose on the exploitation of workers in Jordan who manufactured products for Classic Brands, Wal-​Mart, Kohl’s, Target, Macy’s, and Hanes…
Burlington Coat Factory, The Dallas Cowboys, and a clothing line headed by Kathy Lee Gifford have also been targets of The Institute’s essential, moral muckraking.
