From Behindthelabel.org -- American Power Source, a company producing military uniforms for the army is accused of running a ‘sweatshop’ like factory in Columbus Mississippi. While employees work overtime hours and get paid over minimum wage, their wages have recently been cut while their workload has increased.
“ This isn't a report about a sweatshop in Mexico, Bangladesh, or China; this is happening in Columbus, Mississippi. And this isn't a story about workers making clothes for Wal-Mart or Nike; these workers are working for American Power Source, an apparel manufacturer that receives millions of dollars in contracts to make military uniforms for the U.S. government and its armed forces. ”
