Lululemon is the well known billion dollar athletic wear company with a controversial history. The company made their mark manufacturing yoga pants but has now expanded their operations to include other products.
According to reports, young female factory workers in a Bangladesh factory, gave detailed accounts of abuse they endure while creating products for Lululemon. In addition to substandard wages, workers claim that they were slapped, hit in the chest, called derogatory names simply for missing work due to illness, in some cases, or for not meeting production targets or breaking rules. Some female employees are reportedly paid a monthly wage that is less than the cost of a pair of Lululemon’s leggings and are required to work long and extended hours to fill orders.
If the allegations are proven true, this would be an embarrassment for Lululemon since the company is part of The Sustainable Apparel Coalition, which ensures corporate social responsibility in relation to environmental impacts. Lululemon has promised to investigate and state that they do not tolerate violations to their strict code of conduct.

That just means that this company should be boycotted and their products not purchased
I agree and I hope their customers see that buying $150. pair of pants is creating real hardship for poor working women.
I don’t think this is the only company that has this attitude towards workers. This is unacceptable but it is still happening.
You are right and I hope I never wear anything that is produced under such inhumane conditions.
Sadly this sort of thing is happening all over the world.
It is and I hope we can do something about it by refusing to buy items that we know are produced under these circumstances
It’s a sad story, my friend … something like this doesn’t happen to us
Sad indeed that these large companies exploit poor women
And that the state authorities allow it
