People & Planet's Corporate Power Campaign
The Buy Right Campaign
Universities spend £8 billion a year on the things that students use day-to-day. Much of this money goes to big companies with appalling records of human rights abuses in their supply chains.
Students around the UK are now demanding that our universities take action. We want to defend human rights throughout university supply chains. Find out how you can be involved.
We’ve already achieved some fantastic victories. And this year, we’re calling on all UK universities to join the Worker Rights Consortium, to ensure that all university clothing is made in factories which respect workers’ rights.
Join us. Get involved today.
Factory collapses and what your uni can do
The recent Rana Plaza factory collapse in Bangladesh shows the need for an independent, worker-led monitoring organisation, which puts worker safety before brand profits.
The Worker Rights Consortium
This year, our primary focus is getting universities to join the Worker Rights Consortium (WRC). All over the country, students will be raising awareness and taking action to promote this great organisation.
In July 2011, NUSSL voted to join the WRC, bringing its 220 member students’ unions with it. Sheffield became the first university to join, and have been followed by numerous other universities. We’ll keep going until every university is a member of the Worker Rights Consortium.
