Demand low-priced retailers (Walmart, Sears, Target, JC Penny, Kohl's, Macys, and others) be required to invest in their sewing factories as a part of doing business with these factories.
Why is this important?
1000 citizens in Bangladesh and Pakistan have died within the past 6 years producing low-cost clothing for Europe and the US. Inexpensive clothing is important to us, yet we seem unwilling to see the human cost to produce this clothing. These low prices should not be connected to unsafe factories and loss of life. Sewing factories help developing nations emerge from poverty, and the retailers and their agents who use these factories must invest in factory safety as a cost of doing business.
