Hanes is part of the Sara Lee corporation. It has no real code of conduct regarding working conditions, wages, environment, or anything else really (other than the clause: "Sara Lee will not knowingly use suppliers who...don't conform to applicable laws." Since many of their suppliers are in the Third World, those applicable laws are incredibly lax and go mostly unenforced.
Okaygear's not sweatshop free. As we've said above, though, nearly nothing is.
