Where am I wearing BY: Desiree Rodriguez
Ocean Pacific • Ocean pacific is made in China and in Indonesia
Wal-Mart • As I was doing my research there wasn’t many things about Ocean Pacific but it did bring me to Wal-Mart. • I found out that Wal-Mart’s suppliers were caught more than once violating labor and human rights my using sweatshop labor • Sweatshop labor is when employees are not being treated right, don’t have equal rights at their job, work too many hours and don’t get paid enough
Bangladesh • The Bangladeshi Garment Plant Harvest Rich, employed about 200 to 300 children to sew clothes for puma, JC Penny, Wal-Mart, and Hanes • On October of 2006, The National Labor Committee reported children being beaten, suffering from exhaustions, working mandatory hours a day, and being paid as little as 6 ½ cents an hour but more than 100 child workers were fired
National Labor Committee • The NLC is demanding U.S companies sourcing from the factory to supply each fired child worker with a monthly payment to release stress on their families and cover essential school expenses for text books, supplies, uniforms, and shoes so the children may return to school
Go Green • People are trying to shop with Go Green to pressure Wal-Mart to reduce its environmental impact and so they can respect it’s workers. • Go Green means shopping locally at hardware stores/ house ware stores that offer low prices
