Did you know that even high end fashion brands use unethical labor? It’s not just cheap fast fashion brands. In fact, studies found that luxury brands like Prada, Fendi and Dior were some of the worst at protecting their workers from exploitation. According to a study in the Daily Mail, “Walmart did slightly below average [in ethics], but still better than a lot of luxury brands.” If Walmart does better than you in ethics then you must be doing real bad, yikes. It's also very difficult to assess whether or not these luxury brands are using sweatshops or take action when they release a statement because they are very secretive about the factories they use. According to Vice, “high-end, expensive clothing companies including Prada, Fendi and Hermes are among the worst offenders, with Chanel coming in dead last, according to the report that ranks clothing brands on transparency.” “Workers in poor countries are often made to pay thousands of dollars in recruitment fees that are deducted from their salary.” This fact blew my mind! Basically the sweat shop will hold their passports hostage so their workers can’t run away until they pay $7,000 which is a lot when they only pay you in pennies per day. So they’re literally stuck in these horrid conditions making clothes for the rich for the rest of their lives. Even Gucci has been exposed by its former employees. They have been called out for their inhumane working conditions and mistreatment of workers. According to the study conducted by Li Wang & Robin Stanley Snell, there was an alleged miscarriage that happened due to being overworked and there was no compensation. How heartbreaking and disgusting. Gucci clearly has more than enough money, they made $10.8 billion in sales, like come on! In the study, these workers also reported strict limitations to using the washroom, drinking or eating. It’s like they’re in jail, jeez. There’s also alleged reports of faking their workers working hours and forcing them to work overtime without being paid. Here's some action items
