Will a sweatfree policy mean that a district spends more on apparel purchases?
Not necessarily. Many businesses treat their workers very well and offer quality goods at competitive prices. Unfortunately, however, we do not yet have data comparing costs for districts that use sweatfree vendors and those that do not. We do know that labor costs are a small fraction of the retail price for a garment. The real difference between sweatfree garments and garments made in sweatshops seems to be found in higher profits for manufacturers.
