“Moisture Wicking” does not mean “Sweatfree”
Whether you are enjoying a warm day at work or playing sports with friends, we think it’s important that you are comfortable! Did you know that you can have comfort while supporting sweatshop-free manufacturing?
Sweatshops got their name from the stuffy, often scorching, working conditions sewers regularly experience. Oftentimes large corporations “cut-and-run” when employees try to organize to gain better conditions. Sweatshop activists have documented examples of sporting goods giants like Nike and Russell who have pulled out of contracted factories when workers voiced their need for respectful working standards.
