As end of the year sales near, some of those deals may be products of modern-day slavery, according to the United Nations. A two-year study by NGO Transparentem found that migrant workers in one country had to pay recruitment fees to get their jobs, some working months or years in unsafe work conditions.

Maybe we should get the log out of our eye first before taking the splinter out of another. Alabama State prison inmates forced labor at McDonalds and other businesses. Do a story on that.
In America we need a living wage and affordable housing too. And the leadership needs to understand how important USA citizens are. And the people that work in our countries need to be paid fair for what that person does for work in a day. And in this country need to try to do more to help other people in our countries, whenever possible. For me , I am homeless still and I am a citizen of USA living in Louisiana. I haven't received no help with housing yet and for me the my time homeless has been over a year. Thanks for the food stamps and medical and phone , USA leadership, but that never help me in the hottest days on record or in the cold days like today.
trust that not one company stood up and did anything of any real significance because buyers in the apparel industry care about anything other than the cost of the unit. Ask yourself how companies like Ross, Burlington Coat Factory, TJ Maxx Marshals, Walmart, Target, and the like can sell you garments at the prices they do, yes closeouts are part of their inventory however most of the cotton in the world comes from slaves labor from China. The American Government could care less because everyone has their hands in the pot, and as long as everyone keeps getting their kickbacks from CCP Party members and the factories they subsidize nothing will ever change.
All billionaire corporations use slave labor so they can keep getting richer at the expense of workers broken backs and wallets. Diamond miners, cocoa producers, sugarcane producers, Nike, and even the forestry industry!
It’s interesting that no matter how human society has progressed over the millennia the practice of slavery has not diminished but only evolved in away where most would not think it exists. The only creatures besides humans that have been observed to practice slavery were ants. Ants would kidnap other ants from another colony and force them to work.
That's America! Why act surprised? We have more hedge funds than we need! They are creating this situation! They are choking the life out of Americans! Hedge funds run America! I'm not ever going to vote because if the hedge funds don't get the president they own they will take our money and homes!
Who else do you think will work in a sub 15$ an hr stressful customer service industry
no sh$T einstein…. it' obvious place like Shein and Temu must be using forced labor, when thing are that cheap, stay away
Am a slave In this country I can’t escape this country USA dream is a prison made of gold

No one needs to be rewarded for doing the right thing lol
Kanye uses Slave Shops for his cheap over prices crap
I make an effort to select vegan brands only and it’s a chore. Should be easier. I don’t care about people much but I care about animals deeply.
Thought people already knew this but go off I guess.
Everyone is a slave, if not you must live outside society.
Is this shocking? It’s been happening since our opportunities and jobs were offshored to Chinese slave labor.
Nike shoes…
But the people who run these companies want to claim THEIR being stolen from 🙄
Ivanka uses sweat shops!
Omg I knew this was going
On back in 2015… watch
The episode of American
Dad about GAP…
I love how the entire solution centers on consumers doing the leg work, not forcing companies to do better…
Consumers online simply order as cheaply as possible and this issue grows. Look for a better way.
it shouldn't be the buyers who have to knit-pick (pun intended) the source of everything they buy, but should be able to trust the place of business who is bartering their products to them – the US Gov could easily mandate such sales practices= but chooses NOT TO.

All I want to know is who made my briefs. Do they think all americans are built the same? DANG
I worked at a big name factory in my old town that would make the employees all temps bidding on jobs with a large area of Chinese/ Asiatic workers who didn't speak the language.
