Who is Responsible for Sweatshop Conditions? (Clip 3 of 5)

In the third clip affiliated with the Made in L.A. lesson plan, garment workers announce a lawsuit against clothing retailer Forever 21 demanding unpaid minimum wages. A lawyer for the workers argue that the retailer systematically demanded and perpetuated sweatshop conditions. Students should discuss why Forever 21 believes that it is not responsible for the workers' complaints about unfair working conditions.
