Workers who hid messages in Zara clothes say they still haven't been paid

Workers who stuffed pleas into pockets of clothing sold at Zara say they still haven’t been paid despite promises of compensation. It was more than a job to them. "We were a family" is what many of the Turkish textile workers who helped make clothes for international fashion brands told CBC News this week. "We felt safe," Bahar Ugur, 26, said. "It was a big deal to work for them." Ugur and eight of her former co-workers, who were all employees of Bravo Tekstil, are huddled around a cafe table on this chilly November night in Istanbul, under a cloud of cigarette smoke.
