Sherrin (click here) has pulled all football manufacturing from its Indian subcontractors, after admitting some of its balls were made using child labour.
On Saturday, The Age/Herald revealed Sherrin balls were being hand-stitched by children as young as 10, for as little as 12 cents a ball.
The children, almost all of them girls, were being pulled out of school to stitch balls full-time, for up to 10 hours a day, seven days a week....
...Rajkumar warned public attention on the issue of child labour would cause brands to simply pull out of the market, and that they would leave nothing behind.

"You will affect the families, which completely depend on football stitching. You are snatching their livelihood."
While Sherrin says the use of child labour making its footballs was the work of one rogue contractor, The Age's 12-month investigation found that the use of child labour in the sports-ball industry in India was widespread and systemic.
The Age found child stitchers, as young as seven, in both the cities of Jalandhar and Meerut, stitching not only Sherrins, but other international sports brands such as Canterbury, and balls for India's domestic market....
Primarily girls. Education for girls is not sincerely important, even in India. This is what occurs when manufacturing is outsourced.
ONLY Syd. I suppose the picture above is Syd.
Wow. Hand made with dedicated skill and precision to detail.
Really?
Now that Sherrin has closed its child labor operations, people in Australia and India are complaining the former laborers will have nothing left for sustenance.
Really?
The country of India uses younger child labor than China. It needs to be outlawed. I would not worry about the children of Punjab City because their government is going to have take care of them and their families and act to support them. See, the girls have to go back to school so they can graduate high school and attend that very modern technical university.
India and Punjab City do not need sympathy, they need laws to protect innocent children from slavery!
The nation of India needs to compensate these children for the loss of schooling they suffered under with insufficient laws and governance to protect them. India needs to supplement the lost wages to their families and return the children to their studies. India allowed this. It is India's problem.
