Thanks Treen . I was just about to head over to NB to see if they had anything on their website.

It is difficult to know where & how most of our clothes are made... . I guess we need to ask more questions. ]]> Thu, 14 Jan 2010 07:59:35 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30952&PID=896306&title=blood-sweat-t-shirts#896306 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30952&PID=896093&title=blood-sweat-t-shirts#896093 Author: mrsturtle

its scary to think thats how things are done huh, like they were all saying you hear about that sort of thing but you dont quite understand till you see it. I thought it was really sad that they have to work like that just to have basic living. ]]> Wed, 13 Jan 2010 21:00:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30952&PID=896093&title=blood-sweat-t-shirts#896093 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30952&PID=896020&title=blood-sweat-t-shirts#896020 Author: Treen

Nature Baby's one of the good ones.

Nature Baby

And you're right – some factories in China are very similar.   

Confessions of an Eco-shopper by Kate Lock is a really good read for anyone interested in the subject. It covers more just clothing, though. ]]> Wed, 13 Jan 2010 20:07:05 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30952&PID=896020&title=blood-sweat-t-shirts#896020 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30952&PID=895973&title=blood-sweat-t-shirts#895973 Author: jano1

Lots of companies get clothes made in India and China but choose to do it responsibly. Workers get paid (not heaps but enough to get by) and have better working conditions.

It's up to us to stop buying those clothes]]> Wed, 13 Jan 2010 19:34:20 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30952&PID=895973&title=blood-sweat-t-shirts#895973 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30952&PID=895588&title=blood-sweat-t-shirts#895588 Author: sally belly

Yip, working conditions not good, particularly in the slum factories. It is really difficult to imagine how you could sit & sew for 14 hours a day in a stinky, hot & cramped room (& then sleep on the floor for the night after work "finishes").

I guess these people would be worse off if Westerners didn't buy the clothes they're producing but surely there has to be a better way??

Someone is making a ton of money because there is obviously a huge difference between what the workers are paid & what we pay for an item...

Yeah I saw it too. But like one of the guys said, what will happen to those workers if everyone boycotts clothing from India and they are out of a job? I couldnt believe the working conditions and the tiny amount they got paid ]]> Wed, 13 Jan 2010 14:59:44 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30952&PID=895575&title=blood-sweat-t-shirts#895575 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30952&PID=895566&title=blood-sweat-t-shirts#895566 Author: sally belly
