Chinese prisoners: We were forced to make Milwaukee Tool gloves for cents each day
Wisconsin Watch unearthed a mountain of evidence that Milwaukee Tool, an iconic American brand, was using prison labor in China to manufacture its work gloves. This rare look inside the opaque supply chain of an American manufacturer depended on a tip from a recent immigrant and months of verification.
The company says it hasn’t found evidence of forced labor within its supply chain, but the U.S. Department of State has started asking questions.
