Workers complain of verbal abuse, impossible targets and ‘poverty pay’ so bad they have to live away from their children
The reality of working in a factory making clothes for Ivanka Trump’s label has been laid bare, with employees speaking of being paid so little they cannot live with their children, anti-union intimidation and women being offered a bonus if they don’t take time off while menstruating.
The Guardian has spoken to more than a dozen workers at the fashion label’s factory in Subang, Indonesia, where employees describe being paid one of the lowest minimum wages in Asia and there are claims of impossibly high production targets and sporadically compensated overtime.
One thing that is obvious about the Trump's is their hypocrisy. Yes, Ivanka Trump has written a book about empowering women yet in her business dealings as revealed by the Guardian woman and rights exist in two different worlds. Ivanka Trump is speaking to women of her social economic class not the workers enduring grueling employment conditions while existing on near slave wages.
