A report by the Fair Labor Association found two dozen violations at a Chinese factory where Trump’s fashion line has been produced.
Conditions at a Chinese factory where designer clothes are manufactured, including for Ivanka Trump’s fashion line, were not entirely up-to-snuff for the 80 workers there: They logged nearly 60 hours a week and many made just over $60 in that period, according to an outside audit last fall.
That same facility was producing its clothes for New York-based G-III Apparel Group Ltd., which has the exclusive license to manufacture blouses, dresses and other items under Trump’s fashion line.
The Fair Labor Association’s report, released Monday, does not specifically mention the name of the factory or say whether workers had been tasked with a Trump-related project during the time of the audit. G-III also has partnerships with Calvin Klein, Donna Karan, Kenneth Cole and Karl Lagerfeld, according to its website.
In a statement provided to NBC News on Wednesday, G-III said its factories are “routinely audited” by its “highly experienced team, ” as well as third-party groups such as the Fair Labor Association, which monitors the industry.
The association said auditors in October uncovered two-dozen violations under the U. N. International Labor Organization, including that overtime work exceeded the legally required limit of 36 hours per month.
