Gap Action in Bristol
From the BBC/Panorama
"The two hugely successful international brands claim that regular monitoring ensures that most factories are free of unethical working practices. However, the Panorama team uncovered sweat-shop working conditions and child labour at the June Textiles factory within days of arriving in Cambodia."
From No Logo by Naomi Klien
"The lavish spending of the 1990s on marketing, mergers and brand extentions has been matched by never-before-seenresistance to investing in production facilities and labour. Compainies that were traditional satisfied with a 100% markup between the cost of factory production and the retail price have been scouring the globe for factories that can make their products so inexpensively that the markup is closer to 400 percent."
