The Shirt on Your Back: Immigrant Workers and the Reorganization of the Garment Industry
Social justice (San Francisco, Calif.), Vol.19(1)
01 Apr 1992
Abstract
The explanation for the shift of garment production away from export-processing zones in developing countries and back to urban sites in the US lies in the increasing decision by multinational apparel corporations to contract garment production out to a network of underground sweatshops concentrated in New York, New Jersey, Philadelphia, Miami, Los Angeles and Seattle, and scattered more sparsely from coast to coast. The role of immigrant workers is discussed.
