The Global Mistreatment of Garment-Factory Workers

As teenagers, we are interested in fashion and like shopping in many clothing stores. Unfortunately, we now know that many high street shops make (or made) their garments using unfair labour. This brings the issue to us, as we are fueling these companies. These shops may be appealing because they are 'good value' or 'cheap', but a study showed that doubling the salary of sweatshop workers would only increase the consumer cost of an item by 1.8%, while consumers would be willing to pay 15% more to know a product did not come from a sweatshop.
