Zara
buyers in Istanbul find "messages" with labor complaints on the clothes
of this brand. They were in the hems of the pants or in the pockets of
the jackets. "I made this item that you are going to buy, but they did
not pay me for it!" The labels were left by workers of the local company
Bravo Tekstil, which produced clothes for Zara and other major
international brands such as Next and Mango. The manufacturer declared
bankruptcy in July 2016 and they were not paid during the entire period
until its closure. Now, they ask Zara to compensate their losses and pay
them three months of back wages and compensation. "One morning we came
to work, and the company was gone, the shutters were closed, our boss
had disappeared. in the garments of all Zara stores in all the shopping
malls in Istanbul, we do not want to harm Zara, that's not what it is,
but we want them to pay us what they owe us. "
The tags carried the hashtag #BravoIscileriIcinAdalet, or "Justice for Bravo workers"
