5/11/2004: For years, activists have been protesting against Gap Inc. for its support of deforestation, its use of sweatshop labor, and its domination of consumer culture through the chains The Gap, Banana Republic, and Old Navy. However, today the Gap released its own Social Responsibility Report. Sweatshops at Gap factories in such places as El Salvador and the US territory Saipan were exposed in the 1990's, but conditions obviously have not improved. Some think that the Gap might be the first of several such large companies to come out about its practices in countries such as China, where its workers are not allowed to unionize.
