A Southern?California state sweep of 37 garment manufacturing facilities resulted in at least 30 being closed due to violations. An amount almost totaling?more than a?$1million in fines were issued during the raid. The sweep was conducted by a?task force?called the (EEEC) Economic and Employment Enforcement Coalition.?
Multiple citations were handed out during the raid including?underpayment of overtime, below minimum wage, child labor, and no workers-compensation insurance…a lot of foulplay going on in these California factories and there always on the case of overseas factories.
Sorry if any of you guys were using any of the factories for production, because most likely your products will be seized by the state! They should of had a list of the closed factories, but I guess that’s why we should be more careful when choosing to work with factories to avoid the wrath of (EEEC).

Well, I don’t really look into my production companies in California because I trust their business ethics. I guess this is a wake up call for me. I think all shady business deserve to get fined. I just heard my aunt complain about her work at the factory(non-garment) the other day. She said “most of us Asians & Mexicans get treated like crap because we can’t really say much and its the only job we have”. Here we are talking about under paid workers & child labor overseas, manufacturers in the U.S are doing the same sh*t. Cruel world!
