ZARA Factory Has Bad Working Environment: &Nbsp; &Nbsp; Sweatshops Support "Blood Fashion".

Textbook says: the history of capitalism is a full of blood and tears.

A garbage dump factory, 7 migrant workers from Bolivia, work 14 hours a day and work 7 days a week to produce a pair of jeans priced at $126.

What does this have to do with the ZARA company, the protagonist of our topic today?

The Spanish retail brand Zara is now accused of working like more than 30 slaves in Brazil's outsourced factories.

To tell the bad environment, we can see from the safety facilities in the factory of ZARA Brazil.

In the picture taken by reporters, there was a fire extinguisher thrown on the dirty ground of the factory building.

Reporters took a look, actually it was expired in 1998.

So, how bad is the working safety condition of ZARA factory in Brazil.

It is important to know that fire extinguishing equipment is very important to a garment production plant full of clothing and fiber flies.

What is more heartache is that one of the workshops in Brazil's ZARA factory, a Bolivia worker, wronged, said: "a pair of jeans from Zara costs about 200 ral (126 US dollars) in Brazil, and its production cost is only 1.8" (1.14 dollars).

The cost of production is usually divided by all the personnel involved in the production system, for example, the cost of this pair of jeans is divided by 7 people.

The average monthly wage of these workers is about 900 (569 dollars), and no less than 12 hours each time.

In 1975, Ortega founded ZARA.

In the mid 1980s, shortly after the company began its international expansion, ZARA soon rose.

With its low-priced products similar to the popular high-end clothing brands, today's ZARA has entered 78 markets worldwide, with more than 5000 stores and 92 thousand employees.

ZARA was once praised by LV fashion director, Peter, as "the world's most innovative, most innovative company."

When outsourcing those products with long shelf life, such as basic T- shirts and denim costumes, ZARA's strategy is to design "try out money".

The so-called "trial money" of ZARA will eventually become the supplier's sample, and suppliers will usually outsource the specific production to the third party factory.

According to the intelligence official of the Ministry of labour in St Paul, Brazil, ZARA has 33 secret factories in one of the garment outsourced factories in Brazil. In the past three months, there have been at least 50 thousand different styles of clothing.

According to textual research, the word "sweatshop" (sweatshop) first appeared in the United States in 1867. It originally refers to the system of "feeding and processing at home" in the clothing manufacturers of the United States, and later it refers to the contractor system, which is made by the contractor.

In these two practices, workers earn the lowest daily wages.

However, as a result of avoiding the collective game behavior of workers who work collectively in regular factories, their unit product wages (piecework wage) can be reduced to a minimum, so it is known as the "sweaty system" (sweatingsystem).

Later, this concept was extended to high incentive piecework and high-speed pipeline operations, but it was also conditional on avoiding collective bargaining. For example, the piecework wage system was determined by the denominator of the output of the most skilled workers without collective bargaining.

For example, the British Post on Sunday reported that the Apple Corp's iPod was produced by sweatshops, and the mentioned OEM factory was Foxconn, a Taiwan foundry giant, Hon Hai group. "Their monthly income is only 27 pounds (about 387 yuan), but they work 15 hours a day."

That is to say, the domestic media began to follow up and report more and more details to Foxconn factory. Apple and Foxconn are in crisis.

Developing countries and many Third World countries have the largest number of cheap labor in the world, and many internationally famous brands are made in China. But because the core technology is controlled by foreigners, the vast majority of their products are foreigners, and the workers in developing countries and many Third World countries can only earn a little hard-earned money, and the workers' welfare benefits and medical insurance are not able to keep up with the working conditions. Therefore, many international big enterprises, factories in developing countries and many Third World countries, are known as "sweatshops" in the modern sense.

At the time of our broadcast, ZARA responded to the allegation of "sweatshops in Brazil". In a statement, a spokesman for ZARA admitted that there was "employment of slave workers" in ZARA's factory in Brazil.

At the same time, ZARA also said: "the factory that has immediately assumed its responsibility for illegal authorization outsourcing" has been standardized on "workers' working conditions".

ZARA also promised that it will cooperate with local textile group and Brazil labor department to strengthen supervision over all suppliers of ZARA in Brazil to ensure that such incidents do not happen again.
