The Truth about GAP INC Bad Press

I have looked at a fashion label or company called GAP which has had a lot of bad press over years concerning Child Labour in Third World Countries.

Also in 2010 27 factory workers were killed and over 100 factory workers were injured in a fire factory in Bangladesh. This is one of the worst fashion labels for ethics in the fashion industry. The company claims it is doing more to prevent this happening but in reality it is not helping very much.

The company has admitted in the past it has used child labour in their factories.

I did not know how unethical or bad the GAP brand was until I looked at it's bad press from the past, it is shocking how they managed to get away with this for so long, it is absolutely disgraceful and more needs to be done sooner rather than later before it is too late.

Have a look at these past news stories about GAP INC you would find this to be shocking and horrifying.
