美国加州的服装工厂情况
去年 9 月,加州州长 Gavin Newsom 签署成为法律的《服装工人保护法》是一项反工资盗窃和品牌责任法案,该法案使该州成为美国第一个要求服装工人按小时支付工资的法案。
2022年1月1日生效。因为这个法案,我们看到了美国加州相关的服装企业情况。
2019年4月,这个相关的企业数量是 2915家
今天 2022年9月,这个相关企业数量是 3612家
为什么会关注到这个变化,今天福步收到了一个邮件,是一个美国客户来咨询一个加州服装企业的联系方式的,要找他批发白衬衫的。当然我们提供了协助,让它顺利联系到这个美国服装企业。
然后就顺着这个美国客户的思路去思考,他是从哪里知道这个公司生产白衬衫的,找了一圈,很可能就是从加州这个名单知道的,只是没联系方式,我们在2019年就收录了这个名单,他找到了福步,因为我们页面的企业邮箱位置是一律隐藏的,他希望得到它。
2019年没仔细看这个名单以及这个法案,这个名单里有2类企业: California Garment Manufacturer ; California Garment Contractor。
根据加州官网,它是这样描述的:

那如果这些企业都是真的服装厂,那么面料,辅料一定是需要的,当然还可以采购一部分成衣,这样才能做到和谐的挂羊头卖狗肉,服装业的朋友可以关注一下。
