Factory in Kohl’s sweatshop case agrees to follow labor laws
To update last week’s story about the sweatshop allegations levied against a factory that produces Daisy Fuentes clothing for Kohl’s, it appears that things are straight now and they have agreed to update their policies and follow proper labor laws:
A Guatemalan factory that makes some of Daisy Fuentes’ clothing for Kohl’s Corp. has agreed to make changes following allegations it was a sweatshop, a workers’ rights group said Thursday.
The National Labor Committee issued a report on the Fribo factory last month, saying workers told a related group they are humiliated and forced to work unpaid overtime.

The NLC said the factory owner, a South Korean national, has agreed to weekly inspections by CEADEL, the Center for Studies and Support of Labor Development in Guatemala, which told NLC of workers’ complaints.
