Victoria’s Secret landed on the 2020 Dirty Dozen list for having “a culture of misogyny” and due to the death of a worker from COVID-19.
Victoria’s Secret is among the 12 companies included in the National Council for Occupational Safety and Health’s 2020 list of “Dirty Dozen” employers.
The National COSH noted how the pandemic has exposed gaping holes in the U.S. social and workplace safety net — namely, the more than 27 million Americans without health insurance, the 33.6 million Americans who do not receive paid sick leave and the 21 million-plus workers in insecure jobs, due to the gig economy.
Victoria’s Secret landed on the 2020 Dirty Dozen list for having “a culture of misogyny” and due to the death of a worker from COVID-19 at a supplier for the company that has its own history of harassment, the report stated. Some workers at Voyant Beauty, a company that makes and packages beauty products for Victoria’s Secret, claimed that managers demanded sexual favors in exchange for more desirable jobs. Voyant Beauty was formerly known as Vee Pak.
A spokeswoman for Victoria’s Secret did not respond immediately to a request for comment Thursday. A media inquiry to Voyant Beauty was not immediately replied to.
