But no matter ao da the messages appear to be hoaxes or not, says the Guardian. The fact that they


Calls with envoys from developing countries by exploited workers. This was believed to receive two clients of the Irish brand Primark when they discovered sewn into their newly purchased clothes, ao da a distress message.
Last week, the first woman came forward after noticing in her dress, acquired in the Primak store Battersea (Wales): "Forced to work exhausting schedules."
The discovery of these mysterious messages comes a little over a year after the collapse of the Rana Plaza building, which caused the death of nearly 1,200 textile workers in the outskirts of Dhaka, capital of Bangladesh, are manufactured inexpensively clothing marketed by many Western ao da brands.
"Honestly, I never really thought much about how the clothes are made, said the first woman in South Wales' Evening Post. But [the label] really made me wonder how one accesses the cheap fashion. I'm afraid to think my high summer was made by someone who has exhausted slaved for hours at a plant abroad that exploits its workers. "
An investigation is underway ao da at Primark, ao da a very cheap clothing brand, to determine the origin of these labels and how they ended up in the clothes ao da of those clients. But already the brand speaks of "hoax." According to her, the two pieces were not made in the same factory, which ruled that the labels were sewn by the same person who wanted to send a distress message to Western consumers.
"Our investigation (...) led us to the conclusion that it is more probable ao da that it is a hoax carried out in the UK," says the sign in a statement posted on its website. Primark said that the labels come "clearly" the same source, but it is "impossible to imagine" they were sewn in the factory where the clothes were made, since one was made in India and one in Romania, thousands of miles away.
Primark also cites a third similar case, that of a note that another client claims to have found in the pocket of trousers, bought ao da in Northern Ireland in 2011 this time, which contains the "SOS" signal, followed by a handwritten text in Chinese.
The message, which surrounded a prison identity card is a call for help from the international community to condemn the Chinese government for violating the rights of prisoners, according to Amnesty International, who translated the message.
"We are prisoners of the Nan Xiang prison Hubei province in China. Our work (...) is to produce garments for export. We work fifteen hours a day and the food we eat would not even not given to dogs or pigs. We work as hard as oxen in the fields. We call on the international community to condemn the Chinese government for violation of human rights! " reads the piece of paper.
But no matter ao da the messages appear to be hoaxes or not, says the Guardian. The fact that they were written by Westerners or by exploited workers does not make it less true content of the message, said the British daily.
Since the tragedy of Rana Plaza, the working conditions of textile mill workers in developing countries are known to all. But more than a year after the disaster, these conditions have not improved and the compensation fund for victims has not managed to raise $ 40 million planned.
According IndustriALL unions and Clean Clothes Campaign, only half of the twenty-nine brands that used to present workshops in the building contributed. Primark, ao da which was the first to mobilize, contributed ao da 12 million euros, according to the legal department of the brand.
According to the Guardian, the #labelgate ao da must consider the possibility to access the "ethical ao da fashion": "It is possible to select range eggs outdoor eggs of hens raised in batteries, even in supermarkets; it is much harder to be able to choose ao da to pay a little more for a T-shirt that was designed ethically. "
The brand is unable to defend himself by saying that it is a hoax because ao da its workers are not exploited. No no, it's only because the plants where its workers are enslaved are too far from each other that these calls for help are unlikely.
Or TFW Primark knows that anyway, no noble souls who buy these clothes do believe s &
