Drake服装公司否认使用未经注册的血汗工厂,称清算是毫无根据的,并发誓要与此案进行斗争。
Drake Clothing denies using unregistered sweatshops, calls liquidation bid baseless, and vows to fight the case.
南非主要零售商服装供应商Drake Clothing正在抵制法院提议清算,否认其使用未注册血汗工厂和“假合作社”的指控,正如国家谈判委员会所称。
Drake Clothing, a South African apparel supplier to major retailers, is resisting a court bid to liquidate it, denying allegations it uses unregistered sweatshops and "sham co-operatives" as claimed by the National Bargaining Council.
该公司说,它对独立承包商没有控制权,要求进行合规申报和审计,而且只与所列举的11家制造商中的一家有联系。
The company says it has no control over independent contractors, requires compliance declarations and audits, and was only linked to one of 11 cited manufacturers.
Drake认为,理事会应该直接针对不符合要求的工厂,而不是供应商,对检查的证据提出异议,将品牌包装归结为回收材料。
Drake argues the council should target non-compliant factories directly, not the supplier, and disputes evidence from inspections, attributing branded packaging to recycled materials.
它声称法律诉讼损害了它的声誉和商业,声称它仍然有偿付能力,并计划寻求损害赔偿。
It claims the legal action has damaged its reputation and business, asserts it remains solvent, and plans to seek damages.
该案仍在继续。
The case continues.
