Wage Theft
A lot of people don’t realize, but there are sweat shops right here in the United States. This episode focuses on the west coast in Los Angeles, California where workers are exploited in the name of fast fashion.
In the ninth episode of the first season, I talk about wage theft. In the episode I focus on how garment workers are exploited due to fast fashion. Clothes are a necessity, but the people the construct our garments are not respected nor are they valued by most.
