John Oliver Has a Plan for Fast Fashion Labels Who ‘Don’t Know’ Where Their Clothes Are Being Made

Many of these retailers blame some of the unsafe working conditions and child labor practices on unauthorized subcontractors hired by authorized contractors to complete orders. But this has happened so many times, it’s mind-boggling to think that retailers would even trust their authorized contractors at all. John Oliver at Last Week Tonight is wondering the same thing and has something special planned for the heads of major retailers like Walmart, Gap, H&M, Joe Fresh and The Children’s Place.  

His lesson? If they expect customers to wear clothes but can’t confirm whether or not the people who made them are being treated ethically, then the CEOs of each of these companies should be happy enough eating the lunches Oliver ordered them – but Oliver cannot confirm how the food was made…or if anyone spat in them.

Watch Oliver’s amazing takedown in the video above.
