As fast-fashion giant Shein prepares for an IPO in the U.S., a new report suggests that workers at some of its suppliers are still clocking 75 hour weeks, despite assurances the company would tighten its labor standards.
Following negative press in the wake of the previous report, Shein promised to improve its standards.
However, a new survey by Public Eye, which polled 13 workers across six suppliers in China, has found little progress.
"I work every day from 8 in the morning to 10.30 at night and take one day off each month.
I can't afford any more days off because it costs too much," Public Eye cited one worker as saying.
