Recently, the Garment Workers' center and three other groups called for an increase in the budget to improve enforcement of existing labor laws. Only around 450 inspectors are charged with maintaining conditions for over 19 million workers. The budget was allocated at half of the $5 million that the activists demanded, so, this situation will continue for some time in the future.

It's bad for the workers, and it's also bad for the legitimate companies that have to compete against criminals.



The center is at

1250 S.Los Angeles Ave., Suite 206 (at Pico)

Thanks for the article. It's an eye-openner, especially if you been to LA and never noticed the area. Great work.
