PATREON PREVIEW - Die, Workwear! - On 'Made in USA' and Sweatshops
Season 13
Published 2 years, 3 months ago
Description
When most of us see a "made in USA" label, we assume the workers were treated well. Or, at least, according to our nation's labor laws. In fact, many garment workers in this country are paid as little as $50 a day to work 12-hour shifts.
Derek and Peter discuss how this is possible and how a new federal bill called The Fabric Act can help empower workers.
