To whom it may concern:

I have been researching your sweatshops in Bangladesh at school, and the harsh
working conditions need to stop. They need to stop because the work place is
overcrowded and are dirty. Also, the workers have very low pay. I know that the working
conditions are very unsafe.
While researching, I found that your company is under fire for contracting with factories
that allegedly violated child labor laws. Also, in 2016 the report found that, despite the
brands fair wage method project being initiated in 2013, the platinum suppliers were
below the industry media (&178 a month) in terms of wages and that living wage was
not being ensured at all for suppliers. Another reason is yall fell behind on worker safety
and human rights. Last, NONE of yalls suppliers in Bangladesh met building safety
standards and 50% of them lack adequate fire exits.
In conclusion, I think you should make the conditions better. Here are some ways you
can. First, you can make the pay higher (per hour). Also, you can make the workplace
safer to work in. Dont forget to upgrade your fire exits! Lastly, please consider making
these changes to improve your overseas factories.
Sincerely
