Documenting Sweatshop Miseries--An Ally's Impassioned Battle Against Global Exploitation

摘要

Charles Kemaghan is driven by the belief that Americans would say no to products made in sweat shops if he can show the human face of low-wage workers exploited by the global economy That's why he made talk show host Kathie Lee Gifford cry, why he shamed the famous Olsen twins Mary-Kate and Ashley and why he hounded hip hop mogul Sean "P. Diddy" Combs. For more than a decade, Kemaghan and the National Labor Committee (NLC) have undertaken a steady stream of highly publicized campaigns exposing the labor practices of factories producing clothes for Liz Claiborne, Fruit of the Loom, the Gap, Disney, J.C. Penney, K-Mart, Kohl's, Nike, Target, Wal-Mart and others including stars like Gifford, the Olsens and Combs.
