Shein will spend $15 million on “improving standards” at factories after a report found labor violations

Shein says that, through an independent audit, it discovered that workers at two factories in China were working 12.5- and 13.5-hour-long days — more than is legally permitted by local law. While it’s “significantly less than claimed in the documentary,” the e-commerce giant is giving factories until the end of the year to correct the problem, Shein says.

The $15 million will be spent over the next three to four years, according to the company, and will cover “physical enhancements” to supplier factories. Shein says it will also increase the frequency of unannounced spot checks and bolster trainings for factories to ensure compliance with laws and regulations. Shein didn’t specify what kind of improvements would be made or how they would benefit workers at factories.

The whole model of Shein (mountains of crappy low quality clothes) is unsustainable. Shein doesn’t needto improve, it needs to disappear.

This is big corp playbook that liberals constantly accept. *Big corp does something bad* There's outrage *Big corp apologizes /pays a fine/donates money to a cause for awareness* Liberals happily accept. And the cycle continues.
