Zara should be closed and owners go to JAIL. It used slave labor (including minors) for YEARS in Brazil.
I've been to a 'camp' myself in 2011 just before the scandal broke. This is how they did it: a coyote paid by Zara would go to Bolivia and give some money to Bolivians that wanted a 'better life' in Brazil. They paid travel expenses and brought them illegally to Brazil. After they were here they would work for no salary - just for the promise that Zara would 'give the papers' to work legally. It never happened.
To mask the operation they opened a number of ghost companies in Brazil and hired those companies to manufacture their products. When hell broke loose, they stated that those companies were guilty, not them.
I hope Zara burns in hell.
- zalew 14y agoyou can replace 'zara' with any fashion or electronics corporation.
- pi18n 14y agoAnd that makes the objection invalid?
- seanmcdirmid 14y agoNo, it means that if you are going to police the morals of the industry, you have a lot of work to do.
- hcarvalhoalves 14y agoThere are immoral things, and there are illegal things. He's talking about outright crime.
- zalew 14y agoyou should read about coke/pepsi wars in 3rd world countries. when it comes to fashion, there are the companies that you hear they use bogus companies to exploit the poor world to save 0.05c/item, and the ones you just haven't yet heard they use bogus companies to exploit the poor world to save 0.05c/item.
