Me and My Uniform
Do you know where your uniform was made? Well, the workers who made it don't know where it ended up. Help us connect the dots and build a strong movement for worker justice!
Are you a public employee? Or are you a student at a school that requires uniforms? If so, we invite you to submit a photo of yourself in uniform, a photo of your uniform label, and a brief statement. Your photo(s) and statement will be added to this website to show that we want our uniforms made in fair labor conditions!

"Our union requires us to buy union-made when possible, and I support that. It's become harder to find union-made products but we do what we can. I support a living wage for the workers who make my gear and will do what I can to help out."
-- Mark McCormick, President of Northampton Firefighters (IAFF Local 108), Massachusetts

"As a retired professional firefighter, I retain my union loyalty and desire for work-place fairness. My union brothers and sisters and I sought uniforms made in the USA by union workers. "
-- Terry Stewart, Fire Fighter (retired), Dubuque, Iowa

"On February 23, 2006, over 100 workers died in a fire in Bangladesh at a factory producing for Leslee Scott Inc. (now Bob Barker). Inmates in San Francisco's prison wear Leslee Scott underwear made in Bangladesh. Did the workers who made this underwear die in a sweatshop? 'We go to work to work, not to die.'"
-- Kalpona Akter, Bangladesh Center for Worker Solidarity
