Investigation after undercover reporter films garment workers illegally working
So let us take a seat at the Tay{ble} and talk about this —- because the #BrandsBehavingBadly don’t want too: “They pay us peanuts & exploit us yet millions is profited” THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS and voices are not being heard — 21st century sweatshops are a global issue.
LET THIS SINK IN
A factory {Jaswal Fashion} in Leicester who makes clothes for the fast fashion brand Boohoo, who also owns Nasty Gal — this man the owner Mr Mahmud Kamani makes millions on bonuses. Yet this factory is paying its staff £3.50 per hour – in the U.K. the minimum wage for over 25’s is £8.72. The horror is discovered by an undercover reporter who just happened to film the experience for an investigation headed up by the Sunday Times. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/boohoos-sweatshop-suppliers-they-only-exploit-us-they-make-huge-profits-and-pay-us-peanuts-lwj7d8fg2
EXPOSED WORKING CONDITIONS
EXPLOITING at it’s finest during lockdown with zero hygiene facilities and no social distancing being implemented. Instead: overworked, underpaid, and in conditions that are unsafe and unhygienic.. They are allowed too hire and exploit people for profit and deliver the clients products-garments in timing that has no care for the people behind the production of the fast fashion garment world.
SLAVERY or cheap labor = Slavery
Questioning how the hell is this happening in the western world right under our noses? Let’s not forget that this is an ongoing issue that is rife in the developing countries of the world, and has always existed in western countries the difference being they are “hidden” under the fabric and mask of no visible poverty or some who call it third world – therefore it doesn’t exist. So far from the truth makes this even more awkward too write.
WAKEUP WORLD
How much longer are fashion brands going to get away with detaching themselves from the reality of the manufacturing of their garments? It’s been too long now and something needs to be done — holding brands accountable for misbehaving? But they subcontract their work? Why have nothing to do with the most important part of the “chain” yet reaping the profits they have no shame in flaunting how fabulous the brand is and it’s growth is off the chain!! I wonder how they would feel if countries and governments made laws that gave garment workers the rights they so greatly deserve?!
LOCKDOWN; SAFETY; EMPATHY; DUTY OF CARE was blatantly ignored.
