The author of the upcoming book, Women Who Work will have to answer for how she treats the women who work for her.
The Washington Post reports that inspectors with the Fair Labor Association found dozens of violations of international labor standards during an audit of a factory in China owned by the G-III Apparel Group which owns the rights to manufacture and distribute Ivankas fashion line.
The newspaper noted the timing of the inspectors report, comes as the presidents daughter has sought to cast herself as both a champion of workplace issues and a defender of her fathers buy American, hire American agenda.
Just yesterday, G-III was busted for rebranding Ivankas clothing line and dumping it on the discount retailer Stein Mart.
This weeks G-III scandals are just the latest to plague Ivankas fashion empire during her fathers First 100 Days as president. Only weeks after being sworn-in, White House counselor Kellyanne Conway broke ethics rules by telling Fox News viewers to go buy Ivankas products.

(6,979 posts)Of people saying that Ivanka is this high-minded, champion of woman's rights who'll reign her father, and soften his non-existent heart.
WRONG.
She's only there to grift, steal and LIE. Oh, and to baby-sit her crazy, putin-loving daddy. Even some Dems are saying she's not "that" bad. HA! She's just as sleazy, rotten and grifting as her daddy and the rest of that Klan (Minus the 10 year old, and I don't know anything about Tiffany).

(50,563 posts)There's nothing unusual about Ivanka's clothes, except the name inside of them. Since her blouses are pretty much the same as anyone else's blouses, what's the problem with the company rebranding them to get rid of them?
