Fair Labor Associations

The Fair Labor Association (FLA) is a nonprofit organization that promotes fair labor practices worldwide. Founded in 1999, it works to improve working conditions in factories and supply chains, especially in industries like apparel and footwear. The FLA sets standards for fair treatment, including safe working environments, fair wages, and the prohibition of child labor. It collaborates with companies, universities, and civil society to ensure compliance and transparency through monitoring and training programs. By advocating for responsible labor practices, the FLA aims to protect worker rights and improve the lives of people in various industries globally.
