Saturday Night Live (SNL) recently aired a skit highlighting the issues associated with fast fashion companies like Shein and Temu. The skit pointed out the use of slave labor, human rights violations, environmental degradation, and the presence of toxic chemicals in their products. This has sparked discussions on social media, with users calling for support of American small businesses on platforms such as Amazon, Walmart, and Shopify. The skit also humorously noted that some products 'kinda smell like gasoline' and contain 'minimal lead.' U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand also weighed in, urging Congress to pass the FABRIC Act to ensure labor protections and fair pay for garment workers, emphasizing the need to prioritize ethical practices over cheap, fast fashion.
So true @nbcsnl. If the price is too good to be true, it probably is and we should be worried. Congress needs to pass the #FABRICAct to prioritize labor protections and fair pay for garment workers over cheap, fast fashion. https://t.co/Ma6Co4NX9s
