Intellectual property is the only property you don’t usually have to be born into wealth to acquire and benefit from.

Except when there is a deliberate attempt to stop the less wealthy from accessing it or benefiting from it. They fucking hate that, the propertied classes. Stay in your lane.

Text says: Suicide and abuse at fashion factory supplying Under Armour and Columbia

INVESTIGATION A young woman allegedly in forced labour at a clothes factory in Jordan killed herself while making products for the global fashion brands, i has discovered

The sportswear giants Under Armour and Columbia have been hit by claims of forced labour in a factory making their clothes, after systemic abuse and exploitation allegedly led to a worker’s death by suicide, i can exclusively reveal. 

The two companies have launched urgent inquiries over the death of a young Bangladeshi woman at a major supplier’s facility in Jordan, uncovered by a months-long investigation.

American Eagle, a major retailer with more than 1,000 stores in the US, admitted that it also uses the site and is taking remedial action.  

Tureza Akter, 21, died in her dormitory in November last year, just over a month after arriving at the Fine Apparel site in the city of Zarqa, about 10 miles north-east of the capital, Amman. It is run by Needle Craft, a major Jordan-based clothes manufacturing company. 

Ms Akter is said to have been fined many times for missing excessive targets. She was abused by a supervisor hours before she died, an official report states.

Sources say that migrant labourers are tricked into β€œdehumanising” 16-hour days in the factory for less money than promised, while bosses intimidate them and withhold their passports. 

Sexual harassment is also said to be common. Members of the largely female workforce are apparently solicited by staff for sex and made to strip in front of managers. 

The factory owners have launched an independent review and say they are supporting Ms Akter’s family after her β€œtragic” death. 

i began its investigation after being alerted by Labour Behind the Label. The British campaign group, which lobbies for workers’ rights in the fashion industry, called the findings β€œhorrifying and shameful”.

A screenshot of American Eagle's mens jeans. They retail for $50 but have been discounted to $35. These are cotton-poly blended stretch jeans in various cuts, colors, and washes.

We should have a larger convo about how companies like American Eagle use beautiful people to add glamor to unglamorous products. In 2023, a young Bangladeshi woman committed suicide at a factory that made American Eagle clothes bc of abuse. This is the cost of cheap, trendy clothes.

It's Doug Slugman, my detective slug character for The Phoenix kids comic, he's riding a bike. The bike is the most realistic bicycle drawing you've ever seen.

I just drew Slugman riding a (very realistic) bike and it made me laugh.
