Kevin W. O’Brien Interviewed by Worcester T&G – “Tragedy Puts Spotlight on Sweatshops”
Tragedy Puts Spotlight on Sweatshops
We've reached a watershed moment in the history of the international labor movement. For decades now, garment workers have been dying while toiling in unsafe factories, subcontracted by western apparel giants who deny any responsibility for these preventable tragedies. But for the first time in a generation, ethically-made options are on the upswing, and workers are regaining a sense of dignity and empowerment.Our CEO and co-founder, Kevin O'Brien, has made it his life's work to better understand domestic and global supply chains as well as responsible production. He works tirelessly to fill orders with factories that value transparency and a democratic worker voice. This is the goal of Ethix Merch, and we're very excited to be recognized for the work we do. This week we were featured by the Worcester Telegram & Gazette.Thanks to all those involved in spreading the word about worker safety, respect, and ethically sourced garments.
