Women in the U.S. are purchasing clothing sewn by women who are exploited in Guatemala. The Nicotex sweatshop produces clothing for Briggs New York [part of Kellwood] and Lane Bryant [part of Charming Shoppes]...overtime work is common, obligatory and excessive, which is a violation of Guatemalan law... No one can leave the factory until the day’s production goal— arbitrarily set by management and which workers say is excessively high—is completed... Wages fall short of even a poverty-level existence.
