The people who make Shein's clothes labor for ten to twelve hours per day (in violation of China's labor laws), some up to seven days a week, and earn as little as 15 to 30 cents per t-shirt.
![Excerpt from a BBC article: ""We usually work, 10, 11 or 12 hours a day," says a 49-year-old woman from Jiangxi unwilling to give her name. "On Sundays we work around three hours less."
She is in an alleyway, where a dozen people are huddled around a row of bulletin boards.
They are reading the job ads on the board, while examining the stitching on a pair of chinos draped over it.
This is Shein's supply chain. The factories are contracted to make clothes on order - some small, some big. If the chinos are a hit, orders will ramp up and so must production. Factories then hire temporary workers to meet the demand their permanent staff cannot fulfil.
The migrant worker from Jiangxi is looking for a short-term contract - and the chinos are an option.
"We earn so little. The cost of living is now so high," she says, adding that she hopes to make enough to send back to her two children who are living with their grandparents.
"We get paid per piece," she explains. "It depends how difficult the item is. Something simple like a t-shirt is one-two yuan [less than a dollar] per piece and I can make around a dozen in an hour.""](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ks3gpa6ftoyaq7hmf6c4qx4c/bafkreiber7g4o5pujmzmjjzsp5dkz7blfexburuwjispfpv6dki7akjb7a@jpeg)

This senator from Maine wrote Canadians a letter. I wrote back. Spoiler: he’s not going to like it.

CTV Your Morning *approached* @rachelgilmore.bsky.social to do a weekly segment
CTV announced on *national TV* she would be returning each week
Then CTV *cancels* her segment after Poilievre’s staffer denounces the announcement on X

Absolutely shameful that CTV caved to a disingenuous right-wing pressure campaign instead of standing their ground. It presents even more red flags about the state of the media in Canada.
@rachelgilmore.bsky.social did not deserve to be treated this way.

NEW: CTV cancelled a fact-checking segment in response to political pressure from Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives
An audio recording obtained by PressProgress shows CTV cancelled an ‘election misinformation’ segment with journalist Rachel Gilmore after online backlash from conservatives

Just wanted to let you know that we have hundreds of people protesting in Fort Lauderdale ( Sat 03/15/25) in front of Tesla - and absolutely no media. I called Channel 7 and 10. Nobody!

JD Vance claimed on X that “Slava Ukraini” protesters followed him & shouted at his daughter.
Guess he didn’t realize it was caught on camera. No one yelled at his kid, and they didn’t follow them.
Vance & Musk need to quit using children as shields. The public isn’t backing down—we want answers.
