How did the FLA begin?
The Fair Labor Association grew out of the Apparel Industry Partnership (AIP), which stemmed from a White House meeting in August 1996. The purpose of the meeting was to challenge companies in the apparel industry to take steps to improve working conditions around the world and to provide the public with information it could use to make informed purchasing decisions. The AIP, composed of apparel and footwear companies, human rights groups, labor rights and religious organizations, and consumer advocates. The AIP sought to form an organization that would recruit member companies to abide by a code of conduct and monitoring requirements (company obligations), develop a program to determine whether company obligations have been met (accreditation), and institute a mechanism to inform consumers about the participation and compliance of companies (public reporting).
