Manhattan DA claims fashion designer ran ‘sweatshop’ in midtown studio

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has accused fashion designer Andrea Marshall of running a "sweatshop" in her midtown studio, alleging that her seamstresses endured grueling 17-hour shifts and worked over 40 hours weekly under exploitative conditions. Bragg's claims highlight systemic issues in the fashion industry regarding labor practices and worker rights. This case underscores the broader debate about ethical standards in fashion manufacturing and could lead to significant changes in labor laws and industry practices to protect workers' rights.
