No Sweat defines the market for goods that support independent trade unions -
the only historically proven solution to sweatshops. We market direct to consumers,
relying primarily on internet sales for distribution. We provide a competitive product
to you and a living wage to our workers. How? By not advertising.

TDB Records is now a No Sweat Affiliate. If you purchase anything from their
store after clicking on the link above not only are you supporting a union factory,
your also supporting us and helping fund the label. Win win.
