Shoppers passing by the GAP store on the Cambridge market square this Saturday were the audience of a street theatre piece demonstrating unjust labour practices by GAP clothing line contractors.
Sweaty GAP
GAP shop in Cambridge
street theatre
An activist wearing a suit and a tall GAP hat, smoking a cigar, was 'whipping' two sweatshop workers and shouting at them to continue working. Several activists were handing out leaflets and talking to the general public. One activist went into the GAP shop to ask the manager about child labour practices of the clothing chain, but the manager declined to discuss this issue.
The activists are calling for GAP to ensure that workers have decent wages, safe working conditions and independent trade unions.
