Meghan Markle wears a coat made by exploited Hungarian workers
Change language:
Meghan Markle wore a Stella McCartney coat for the Remembrance Sunday commemorations. The coat was made by Hungarian workers in Beriv factory.
Beriv factory is in Berrettyóújfalu where the £1,545 coat was produced by Hungarian workers who earn minimum wage, if that, despite the prices of the high-end clothes, reports Daily Mail.
Imre Matolcsi, the factory director, stated that the workers earn above minimum wage and are properly paid according to Hungarian laws. The owner of the factory added that Stella McCartney is their most valuable client, and they look back on a long partnership together.
However, factory workers offered an entirely different point of view.
One of the workers showed her latest payslip which revealed that she was paid roughly 170 thousand forints for 176 hours.
“We might be paid above the legal amount, but we are still struggling. All of us workers are unable to survive and don’t have enough money for food or heating so have to rely on the help of friends and family to get through the month,” she said.
Shame on her,guess she only cares about Africa, anyone else is her slave.
And even the cost of that coat is an outrageous lie. I am Hungarian, and I know the industry, worked in it for a long time. There is no way it costs 20% of the price (300 pounds). It cannot be more than 100 pounds, tops, but I bet it’s slightly less than that. So all they try to do is trying to make it look better, with huge, fat lies … Disgusting. But for everyone’s information out there, all Hungarians earn about one sixth of the European wages, in every branch. So it isn’t only factory workers who need support from the EU we never get… Noone cares about what’s happening to us in this small dictatorship, we are completely enslaved by Germany… We were sold to them for power and money, so our wages are not coincidental…
