Problems of a Fashion House!

Alexander Wang has come under fire from former employees of his New York factory that they have been working in “sweatshop” like conditions. Although Alexander Wang spokesperson have said “The claims regarding sweatshop conditions are completely untrue,” however it seems that these 30 or so employees have issued a number of claims to support their statement such as “working 16-hour days without overtime pay.”

Lawyer Ming Hai who will be representing the cause on behalf of these employees has issued a statement in regards to working conditions at the factory and the type of people that Alexander Wang is hiring “A lot of the workers are new immigrants and they don’t speak English. They work long hours. It’s like a new kind of slavery.”

We at www.frontpose.com are greatly disheartened that a company of great economic value can resort to such form of labour, it seems that this form of labour is downright wrong, not only do we find this unfit but we find it to be against any human right, ethically and morally unjust. Our stance is from the view point of any employee whether minute or major in a workforce and that is not to have their human rights breached.

This brings us to the question if working conditions can be in such a disastrous state in New York, America imagine how working conditions can be like for 3rd world countrie’s workforce were a lot of these big shot companies produce their garments. Although it must be said that even a small factory in these countries can produce countless jobs, but we feel that big fashion houses must understand that they too have to be ethical in working conditions and pay.
