Looks like Victoria's Secret is getting folks all hot and bothered in the wrongest ways. Apparently Victoria's Secret has been using sweatshop labor in Banglidesh India.
According to Womens Wear Daily sewers at D.K. Garments, a subcontractor for Victoria's Secret, were "slapped and beaten, not paid their full overtime pay and labored from 7 a.m. to as late as 10 p.m., seven days a week with one day off every three or four months."
Hmmm...perhaps the company was blinded by all those diamonds on Selita Ebanks million dollar get-up and didn't notice their laborers being beaten?
Additionally the factory owner has threatened to starve the employees on strike.
With bras costing upwards of fifty bucks, can't the folks at Vicky's afford to pay their workers fairly? I guess Victoria's Secret can only offer supportive bras and not supportive work conditions.
