According to an ironing staff of UNIQLO UNIQLO China supplier Luen Thai, it works 13-14 hours a day, ironing 600-700 pieces of T-shirt, and the piece price is only 0.29 yuan per piece.

To maintain their livelihood, UNIQLO UNIQLO suppliers in China must work overtime and work overtime for 134 hours per month, which is more than 36 hours of statutory maximum overtime, and 150% of overtime pay is also lower than the statutory 200%.

Fast fashion brands including UNIQLO UNIQLO have been accused of using sweatshops because of the fact that

Workers in Southeast Asia's supply chain factories face dangerous working conditions and continuous major death disasters, which have caused fast fashion brands to be immoral accusations, especially the collapse of factories in Bangladesh in 2012, which engulfed more than 1200 workers.

As for Uniqlo UNIQLO, workers are very famous for their long time work.

The book "The Glory and Disgrace of the Uniqlo Empire" published by the Japanese Publishing Group bungeishunju Ltd. in March 2010 revealed the immorality of the uniformed uniforms. For this reason, the Japanese company of the UNIQLO, the Japanese company, also told publishers to court, but finally lost the lawsuit.

UNIQLO UNIQLO has acknowledged in the group's supply chain report that the problems in China's supply chain began to increase over the past two years, including helping young people forge age and tampering with overtime records.

Sacom urges UNIQLO UNIQLO to help suppliers improve their working environment, maintain pparent supply chain, strictly abide by CSR policies, provide safety training and health checks for workers.
