Kevin bacon and hanes sweatshops!

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to let you know about a new website, www.sixdegreesofexploitation.o rg. This website was created to ask for Kevin Bacon's assistance in ending Hanes use of sweatshops. Kevin Bacon serves as a key paid celebrity endorser for Hanes and I know that Hanes values his services as a spokesperson for the company and wishes to continue this lucrative relationship. As a result, Mr. Bacon is in a powerful position to stop the abuse of workers at Hanes' factory TOS Dominicana. If Mr. Bacon told Hanes that he would not continue to help Hanes sell its t-shirts and underwear unless the abuses at TOS Dominicana are stopped, I know that Hanes would listen. So I am asking for his help on this urgent cause. Visit www.sixdegreesofexploitation.o rg today and ask for Kevin Bacon's help to end Hanes sweatshops!

More kevin bacon and sweatshops!!

I can't believe it. I went to the www.sixdegreesofexploitation.o rg website that was mentioned and what is happening in the Dominican Republic is really awful. The management at the Hanes factory switched people's schedules from 8 hours 5 days a week to 12 hours 4 days a week without consulting the workers, and decided to pay them every 8 days rather than every week, which is essentially a pay cut and so now they recieve less than $200 US a month. In one of the testimonies on the website a woman said that she was hired with the understanding she would work 4 machines, but now she has to work 6 or 7, which is really dangerous. I just can't imagine. And apparently the worker conditions are really bad and dangerous for pregnant women. I really hope Kevin uses his position as spokesperson to change these conditions! I signed the petition and I hope you do too!!
