Excerpts from article:
...Kanye West's plans to move his Adidas Yeezy headquarters to Wyoming could save him millions in taxes but also could spell disaster for Adidas workers in Asia who risk being left jobless by the move, a charity group exclusively told DailyMail.com.
...While West could save up to $15 million by moving his headquarters to tax-haven Wyoming, it could leave sweatshop workers in Asia in even more dire circumstances, according to charity group Clean Clothes Campaign.
...Clean Clothes Campaign, the leading global NGO alliance fighting sweatshop conditions, advised West that if Adidas Yeezy makes any changes to its production line, then it needs to act responsibly or risk harming workers.
...Clean Clothes Campaign cautioned West against moving too quickly, pointing to other examples in Asia where Adidas suddenly pulled out and left thousands of poorly paid workers without jobs, some of whom earn no more than $3-a-day.
...Some campaigners have dismissed West's claims that Yeezy will move away from cheap producers in Asia, with one leading anti-sweatshop source saying: 'Yeezy is just the name for a collaboration project between rapper Kanye West and Adidas.
