The Italian antimonopoly authority is investigating companies
belonging to the Armani luxury goods group and the Dior brand. The
reason is the accusations that the enterprises violated safety
regulations, Azernews reports.
The Italian antimonopoly authority AGCM has launched an
investigation into some companies of the Armani group (Giorgio
Armani S.p.A. and G.A. Operations S.p.A.) and some companies of the
Dior group (Christian Dior Couture S.A., Christian Dior Italia
S.r.l. and Manufactures Dior S.r.l.) on the subject of unfair
exploitation of employees. In some cases, companies sold products
from workshops where workers were underpaid, worked overtime and
hired in violation of safety regulations, AGCM reports.
Now the investigation will find out whether the companies
resorted to illegal labor practices in the production and sale of
their expensive goods. The working conditions in the ordered
companies may contradict the high production standards that Armani
and Dior themselves praised in advertising. According to the
agency, this practice violates the Italian consumer protection
law.
According to media reports, in mid-June, the contractor of the
Italian division of the Dior fashion house was under investigation
for an article on labor exploitation in the organization of the
production of luxury bags. We are talking about two companies that
sewed products under a subcontract. About two dozen Chinese and
several Filipinos worked for them. The cost of manufacturing
premium bags was only 53 euros (at a retail price of 2.6
thousand).
