are alot of connections between the growing union-made movement and the
Fair Trade movement as they both seek to better the lives of producers.
Where those two movements connect with Fair Trade Sports is with our
manufacturer, Talon
Sports, in Pakistan (most sports balls produced in the last
several decades have come from Pakistan).

In the interest of transparency and Respect, we wanted to
pass the information to you about the union workers
making our sports
balls.
