ANOTHER REASON WHY WE USE U.S. UNION-MADE T-SHIRTS:
Rather than importing sweatshop-made t-shirts from the well-known corporate brands in the textile industry, the shirts we use support U.S. workers in a vanishing unionized U.S. textile industry. 99.5% of the t-shirt manufacturing jobs are now in sweatshops in countries that prohibit unions (or consider unions to be a threat to the garment business owners, management
and investors. These sweatshops are contracted to be run by third party harshly anti-union managers, thus absolving the corporations from any direct culpability for any wrong-doing or poor working conditions. The criminally-negligent absentee transnational corporations are absolved of guilt as they may not directly hire managers who abuse the textile workers in the Central American countries where these manufacturing facilities are located (primarily Honduras at this time) The U.S.-based textile corporations avoid prosecution for the thugs and murderers hired by the third-party managers of the sweatshops who torture, disappear and murder union organizers. Corporations go to wherever a local workforce is the cheapest to hire, impoverished, desperate for work, un-organized and who are easily manipulated by fear, threats and coercion. Just like big business operates inside the U.S. today. The fact that in the U.S. in 2021 there are only 4 unionized tee -shirt and sweatshirt manufacturers left is a sad fact. We need to support these last remaining union manufacturers in the U.S. garment industry that is making 99% of its garments in low-income countries using exploited and even child labor. That's why we use U.S., union-made garments for our custom printing.
