Brazilian authorities are investigating claims that a supplier for…Zara [part of Inditex] is forcing workers to toil in inhumane conditions, a labor ministry spokesman [said]…The probe…focuses on unsanitary conditions and long working hours endured by workers -- some of them undocumented Bolivians…Zara…subcontracted its work to the Brazilian supplier Rhodes, which in turn further contracted work out to other firms employing the undocumented workers in "precarious conditions." Raids on factories in the city have found people working in stifling, confined spaces for 14 hours a day, in "degrading" circumstances, with sleeping quarters above the factory floor…Inditex…acknowledged the issues raised by the probe…and ordered its subcontractors to "immediately regularize" the conditions for all its workers.
