Casey Boland, in an article which appeared in the magazine Clamor entitled "America Made," describes a similar system of "plausible deniability." "Plausible deniability" is what the garment industry - specifically companies like Abercrombie & Fitch, Calvin Klein, The Gap Inc., J. Crew, Levi Strauss & Company, The Limited and Wal-Mart - uses to conceal its (i.e., the garment industry's) use of sweatshop labor. IT MIRRORS MARVELOUSLY WHAT'S HAPPENING IN AMERICA'S SYSTEM OF CLIENT-STATES. Boland writes:
...
This occurs because, as Boland writes, "CURRENT LABOR REGULATIONS STIPULATE THAT RETAILERS ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE LABOR CONDITIONS EXISTING IN THE FACTORIES FAR BELOW THEM." This, of course, is a fiction. They know EXACTLY what is happening. Still, as Boland says, " ... the retailer has no direct contact with the contractors of garment workers" (where the HORROR is occurring) and it is "plausible" (there's that word) that they don't know.
...
As Boland says about the retailers in the garment industry, they "ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONDITIONS EXISTING ... FAR BELOW THEM."
...
Their hearts were about as pure, and their hands were about as clean as The Gap's CEO - Millard "Mickey" Drexler - who boasted an annual compensation last year of $8 million while running some of the most INHUMANE, HORRID, and PUTRID sweatshops the world has ever seen; of course, on a "subcontracting" basis where, as Casey Boland of Clamor Magazine says "CURRENT LABOR REGULATIONS STIPULATE THAT RETAILERS ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE LABOR CONDITIONS EXISTING IN THE FACTORIES FAR BELOW THEM." -
