Slave Labour

Dear Sir

Hello my name is Clint. I have read your article about how a shop is selling cheap clothes made in Bangladesh and I will share my opinion on the matter.

It’s true that because the clothes are cheap, the store has an incredible profit. Everyone wants to spend as least money possible, so they buy which ever one is the cheapest and they don’t stop to think where those clothes were made or how.

For me it is important to understand where they were made and the conditions in which the workers did them, because as many wont know slavery is still a thing in some parts of the world. There are more slaves now a days than when slavery was legal, that is just incredible.

Many salves work for these clothing lines, whom get good work for nothing in return and the workers or slaves get treated badly, because the producers care more about money than human lives. They think of slaves as disposable, therefore they do everything they can to build their brand on the lowest budget possible so that they can sell it for cheap but still make a lot of money out of it.

The sad part is that many of the people who are slaves don’t even realize they are, this happens because they are used to it form birth or they think they are getting a fair deal but they have nothing to compare it to.


But the saddest part is that many people do know that the prices are probably as cheap as they are because of the usage of slavery but if they can spare a few bucks they are happy to look the other way and just buy it.

Yours faithfully,
Clint Kattwinkel
