GUATEMALA CITY - Worker rights campaigners have criticised Chinese-owned ultra fast fashion giant Shein for failing to protect workers at a former garment factory in Guatemala which supplied a brand it part owns.
The US-based Worker Rights Consortium (WRC) says the Industrial Hana factory closed down in October 2023 without paying its 250 employees $1.5 million in unpaid severance and other benefits owed to them under Guatemalan law.
