Does Old Navy(at least in Ontario) really use child labour?

Question

Is there any proof? I'm unsure what to think because I like the clothes a lot at Old Navy but I was recently told that Old NAvy uses child labor.

Answer 1

no they do not!!! I did a project on it!

Answer 2

Guest6247, I can't even begin to tell you how wrong your answer is, not to mention it doesn't answer the question. The answer to the question is both yes and no. The company's standing policy is that they do not do business with factories that employ children. However, that being said, they contract out all their factory work to to dozens of different companies in different countries, and it is nearly impossible to monitor them all. Recently they were exposed at one of their factories and they immediatly issued a statement claiming they did not know about it, and certainly don't condone it. They cut ties with that company, but they do admit they only pay what a country's law requires.
