Dollar Tree is a retail chain that specializes in affordable items, such as household supplies, clothing, and toys. Many of their products are sourced from overseas, where workers are paid low wages and often subjected to unsafe working conditions.
Dollar Tree has been criticized for its sourcing practices and for the low wages and poor working conditions of the workers in overseas factories. In November 2018, the company announced that it would no longer source products from factories in China that use forced labor or child labor.
However, the company has not yet made any changes to its sourcing in other countries.
Dollar Tree has responded to the criticism by stating that it is committed to working with suppliers to improve working conditions and pay rates. However, the company has not proposed any specific measures to improve the situation.
Dollar Tree should improve its sourcing practices to ensure that its products are produced in a safe and humane manner. The company should also increase the wages of the workers in its overseas factories to ensure that they can live in a dignified manner.
