Throughout the years, reports and journalism have demonstrated the poor working conditions of factories around the world. Just in March, 11 people died in a lingerie factory fire in China, while 15 more were injured. Just this last month, the New York Times reported use of child labor in Samsung’s overseas factories. Even if a company you shop from reports they have ethical standards for their workers overseas, many of them use suppliers whose working conditions include no maternity leave, holiday pay and are often underpaid for overtime work. Although this isn’t something new and not every factory is guilty of these heinous conditions, it still lingers in the back of many shoppers’ minds when we go to buy new outfits. A lot of us would like to put our hard-earned dollar towards organizations we know for certain adhere to the kinds of standards we believe are humane.
