[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So you all just too busy to read about clothing brands that use slave labor and child labor?

Xinjiang, where the Chinese government is holding a minority group in China, Uyghur Muslims.  These people are jailed in these camps to work for free and the children are forced to work the cotton fields. This became clear a few years ago annd American customs refuses to allow garments made with cotton from the Xinjiang region.   There are STILL sweatshops were workers are underpaid and forced to work 16 hour days, 6-7 days per week.

Some of the worst companies that still use slave wage labor are Nike, Adidas, Zara,  Uniqlo, Lululemon, Victorias Secret, Forecer 21 and Shein plus many more

Some of the best companies that do not use sweatshops or children’s labor is Target, Eileen Fisher
Made in the USA are brands like American Giant, BattenWear, [b]Restoration [/b](which is popular), Hanna Anderson,  There are more and more independent US brands starting up but it’s tough to compete against giants.

Sadly  the most popular brands are the worst offenders.  Some like the Gap are working towards doing the right thing.  Patagonia did the right thing and left China for Peru.   It’s just that not enough people care. [/quote]

Is it possible you meant Reformation?[/quote]

Yes, thank you.   [/quote]
