protesto in the garmento



So walking to the Designer's office to do "whatever it is that I do there/hang out" and I hear all this commotion.

I mean I blast my iPod and I could hear chanting through listening to some old school Jay-Z. Being the nosy person I am, I take my earphones off and go to where all the racket is.

Basically there were a bunch of Chinese "garmentos" who were protesting against their manufacturer, Liberty Apparel.  They claim that they have labored over 80 hours a week for less than $3/hr in the Chinatown factories.  Even claiming they went months without any pay at all!

This is really fucked up, I think they should all take a lesson from that ho at 1OAK and slap Liberty Apparel in the back of the head with a purse!
