Gap Inc.’s Crusade against Sweatshops
‘When the protests and campaigns first started 10 years ago, panies were really bullish –
they pletely denied there was a problem or adopted a ‘so what?’ attitude. The real

admitting that they have got a problem. There is a still long way to go but we are beginning to see
