The Atlantic: Patagonia’s Human Trafficking Problem.
“... the findings of Patagonia’s audits take on a different cast, a sign not of corporate hypocrisy, but of the near impossibility of treating workers well at every step in the production process, even when a company is genuine in its desire to do so.” Impossibility? A bit far-reaching, that. You don’t have to source overseas; but then your pricing tiers would rise. There are a ton of smaller manufacturers all over the US now, doing all kinds of similar things ... though not ramping up to the huge scale of a Patagonia.
