I know I said the last post was going to be my last but it occurred to me that the majority of the blogs talked about sweatshops taking place overseas. Yet, I have failed to mention the sweatshops that occur in the United States. An informative video called Made In L.A. that follows three Latina garment workers. One of the key brands targeted in the movie is Forever 21. The workers in the video protest for better pay and better working conditions. http://www.laweekly.com/2012-07-26/news/sweatshops-los-angeles-fashion-industry/3/ is an informative website that also talks about sweatshops in L.A.

Although the United States has labor laws and child labor laws, some manufacturing companies int he United States continue to be over looked.

I guess this means that not only do I have to be aware of brands made overseas I must look into American made clothing as well
