GAP, shame, and a waste of money. posted by gambit on Monday, July 17, 2000, at 19:22:12:
> I've recently gotten interested in the subject of GAP, Nike and the sweatshops. For those of you who dont know, GAP, Nike Etc. Use child labor and cheated slave like men and women to make clothing > shoes and other products, most of the money goes to the owners and big shots, not the workers. > it gets even worse, GAP, cuts down redwoods and other trees while killing endangered species. workers also must sign a contract saying they give > up their rights including the freedom to practice religion, ask for a raise or, FALL IN LOVE. Anyway, getting to the point, before I got interested in all this I bought an Old Navy vest ignorant of the fact that GAP owns Old Navy. So, now I have this old navy vest hanging my closet and I have no idea what to do with it, I bought it at a used clothing store that gives no refunds. > > gam"I'm not a very good writer but hopefully you all got my point"bit
How do you come across this information? Do you have a reliable source for these factoids about sweatshops and the GAP and Nike and such? The whole thing, especially about giving up religion and love, sounds completely ludicrous to me. I'd like to see some verifiable confirmation or refutation on it.
