Zara Hoodie report: What "respect" means for Inditex. In the footsteps of a hoodie

The textile giant Inditex, which also owns the Zara brand, likes to present itself as a transparent company that attaches particular importance to the well-being of its seamstresses. A research by Public Eye (Switzerland) on the production conditions of a symbolic Zara hoodie provides a behind-the-scenes look: dumping wages, excessive overtime, precarious employment contracts. In the end, the workers pay for the massive price pressure that the fashion group exerts on its suppliers. According to an estimate made with Clean Clothes Campaign partners, Inditex earns twice as much on each garment as all the people involved in the production combined.
