Flex Day

Answer one of the above questions and add two points of observation or reflection from the day abouts the two places we visited (Sterling Styles factory and Up2Date apparel office). Also you can compose a question that you may have from our flex day adventures. You should post these three items on your blog page.
1) answer a question
2) make two observations or reflections (or write your own questions that you may have) Three things in total!

3.On a scale of 1-10, 10 being the top score, how would you rate the quality of the work environment you saw here, and why?

On a scale of 1-10 I would rate the quality of the work environment as an 8. Everything was clean, the workers had enough space, the machinery looked quite safe, and the factory managers made sure the workers were looked after; there was a child care centre for workers who couldn't leave their children at home, and a lot of people, though not all, had cloth in front of their mouths for safety. The lighting was good, but a bit too bright, and there was ventilation. Overall it was a good working environment, but not the best ever.

Two points of observation:

1. There were signs put up in the factory reminding the workers to wear their gloves when using certain machines, and also to wear that cloth in front of your mouth. I thought that was a good idea, so the people are safe.
2. The workers all ranged in age from about 20 to 50/60, there were no children working. This made me quite happy since I hate it when I have to see people my age working, while they deserve an education, and since it's illegal it's good to see they do follow laws...
