As Trump Touts Made in America Week, Indonesian Workers Toil Away Making Ivanka Trump Apparel
While President Trump is promoting Made in America week, we turn now to look at a recent investigation by The Guardian that revealed workplace abuse, grueling production targets and deplorably low pay at an Indonesian factory that makes clothing for Ivanka Trumps label. Many of the female workers at the factory in West Java say the pay is so low that they live in constant debt and cant afford to live with their own children. We speak to journalist Krithika Varagur in Jakarta, Indonesias capital.
