MIAMI BEACH, Fla. -- A less conventional protest took place Monday on South Beach where activists stripped to show their displeasure with the Gap clothing store.
About two dozen people stripped down outside the Gap on Collins Avenue to protest big corporate labor practices. The group said they'd rather go "naked" than wear Gap clothes.Monday night the Gap released this statement:"We are working very hard to improve conditions for garment workers around the world and garment factories that produce clothes for us. We have clearly defined standards. A garment factory must agree to comply with those standards if they want to get and keep our business."
