Bienestar International manufactures union-made casual clothing under the brand name No Sweat™. Our clothing is produced by independent trade union members in the US, Canada, and the developing world. We believe that the most viable response to globalization is a global labor movement.

No Sweat defines the market for goods that support independent trade unions - the only historically proven solution to sweatshops. We market direct to consumers, relying primarily on internet sales for distribution. The savings in advertising offset our higher labor costs, enabling us to provide a competitive product and a living wage. We rely on you to help us spread the word! Check out our new Globalize THIS. Together we can show the garment industry what a real fashion statement looks like. Shop No Sweat Now! - 100% union-made, sweatshop-free shopping!

7. One warning about American Apparel

Yes, their clothes are (so far as I can tell) made in the US with fair labor and their fabric is oh-so-nice, but don't just grab a shirt without trying it on! AA runs smaller than any other brand I've ever encountered. So don't just think, 'Oh, I wear a medium t-shirt' and grab it--I did that and couldn't pull the thing over my head. Lol. But I like their stuff, so just shop wisely!

8. Yes, my daughter found that out.

They recently opened a store near us and we went in to check it out. She's tiny and usually wears a small, but had to take a medium in their things. Fortunately, she did try everything on!

I haven't bought anything for myself there yet, but I'll be careful. :D
