The 2010 Sweatshop Hall of Shame was recently released.  It highlights the latest companies exploiting child labor, slave labor and other unsafe working conditions.  This year’s inductees are Abercrombie & Fitch, Gymboree, Hanes, Ikea, Kohl’s, LL Bean, Pier 1 Imports, Propper International, and Walmart.  You can read more details here.  They may not all be using slave labor but as a socially conscious consumer I want to have all the possible information when I make purchases and make sure the companies I buy from are ethical.

I am slightly confused about Ikea, however.  Another recent article talked about how they were working with Unicef to help fight child labor.  Has anyone else read other information?
