Catch the Flame

This evening I had a look at the TUC website and clicked on the Catch the Flame site which is “an initiative of Play Fair 2008, supported by a global alliance of trade unions, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), labour groups and concerned individuals, working together to draw attention to the maltreatment and exploitation of workers in the merchandise industry of the Olympic Games in Beijing (2008), Vancouver (Winter 2010) and London (2012)”.

I must admit that I am not entirely clear how it intends to work, but you add your name and location to the site and by doing so lend your support to this very worth while campaign. It does not seem to have anything to do with the “Free Tibet” Olympic torch?

UK Workers capital activists need to get their heads around "Play Fair" issues and the 2012 London Olympics.
