The high price of cheap clothes

from This Is Uncomfortable · host Marketplace

Lorena has been a garment worker in Los Angeles for over twenty years, going to work each day in a small factory to sew trendy fast fashion clothes for pennies per item. But one day, she decided enough was enough, and she took a stand against the poor work conditions and low pay. In part two of our mini-series on fast fashion, we look at the system of production: who pays the price for cheap clothes? And how might that system change for the better?If you liked this episode, share it with a friend. And to get even more Uncomfortable, subscribe to our newsletter!
