The Child Labor Gap
Clothing retailer The Gap Inc. was forced to disavow a factory in India that was revealed to have been employing young children to make Gap clothing under horrible conditions. What do you think?
Thomas Gevedon,
Caretaker
"By horrible conditions you just mean 'in India,' correct?"
Lucy Guilfoyle,
Plumber's Assistant
"I'm sure they didn't take into account the generous product discount these children are getting."
Lucas Mullan,
Secretary
"I'm shocked. I was under the impression that all Gap clothes were made by child labor."
