Garment workers in the US are paid far below minimum wage. New legislation, if implemented successfully, would change that.

    Laws need to be enforced, not just created. The article seems to imply that it’s up to individual exploited workers to file official complaints, but many of the exploited workers are illegal aliens or feel way to vulnerable to ‘rock the boat’. Essentially, government should enforce these laws, and be functional. Expecting super poor people living in fear to suddenly fight back one at a time, or expecting them to even find out about new laws that get passed, is very unrealistic.
