Have a sweatshop-free summer
New - the candy-stripe tank. It's 100% cotton and 100% non-sweatshop.

A sweatshop is a super-exploitative workplace. Sweatshops generally pay poverty wages, force workers to labor long hours, employ child labor, deny workers the right to form a union, fire women who become pregnant or subject workers to dangerous conditions. They are found not only in developing countries, but in the US as well. Besides buying sweatshop-free apparel, find out what else you can do for workers' rights from United Students Against Sweatshops.
