Gap announces "Sweatshop Free" labels

After the Observer exposed child laborers in India making goods destined for holiday shelves at Gap Kids stores in the US and Europe, the Gap is announcing it'll begin using "Sweatshop Free" labels:

According to Bhuwan Ribhu, a lawyer from [Global March Against Child Labour], the US conglomerate set out a series of ambitious proposals including a move that would see it relabelling its garments to allow the consumer to directly track online exactly where they are made.

The system would closely mirror the highly successful RugMark programme which has largely eradicated child labour in India's carpet industry.
