FOREVER 21 IS SOOOO CHEAP by www.garmentworkercenter.org
Garment workers who sewed clothes sold by Forever 21 were paid less than the minimum wage and worked in sweatshops in downtown L.A. with rats and cockroaches. Forever 21 refuses to pay these workers their owed wages while it estimates earning over $500 million in sales this year alone.
