The less than glamorous reality of New York's Fashion Industry

from Uptown Radio · host Uptown Radio

There are just weeks left to pass the Fashion Workers Act, a new bill hoping to regulate New York’s fashion industry. Its focus is on models. They may seem to be living enviable lives, but many models aspire to the same labor rights as the rest of us.  This bill has been in the works for three years. Currently, there’s no union for models. No real HR protections. Its authors say that as some of the most exploited employees in the business, the bill would offer workplace protections and financial transparency. Marine Saint asks those who've seen the less than glamorous reality of the fashion industry what would change with the new law
