The Guardian: Abuse & Low Pay at Ivanka Trump Indonesian Clothing Factory
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

A new investigation by The Guardian has revealed workplace abuse,
grueling production targets and deplorably low pay at an Indonesian
factory that makes clothing for Ivanka Trump's label. Many of the female
workers at the factory in West Java say the pay is so low, they live in
constant debt and can't afford to live with their own children. This
comes as three Chinese activists with the group China Labor Watch
continue to be imprisoned after they were arrested while investigating
labor conditions at a factory manufacturing Ivanka Trump brand shoes.
