The ultra-fast fashion giant Shein, which has surpassed Zara in market dominance, is facing scrutiny over its labor practices in China. Investigations by Public Eye reveal that workers in Shein's supply chain, often migrant laborers in small workshops in Guangzhou, endure excessively long workweeks averaging 75 hours, far exceeding legal limits in China. These workers, paid per piece, are compelled to work such hours to earn a living wage, with meager pay for complex items and declining piece rates for simpler ones. Safety standards are reportedly inadequate, with blocked exits and fire hazards, and workers may be monitored by cameras. While Shein claims to pay competitive prices to suppliers for fair wages, the reality for many workers involves grueling conditions and a lack of basic labor protections.
