Shoppers have a lot to think about this season. The economy’s still in the tank and most of us are looking to get the lowest prices possible on everything we buy. But unfortunately, some of those bargains come with a high price for the people who manufacture the items. This new app lets you make purchasing decisions based on the conditions under which major brands produce their products.

Free2Work allows consumers to view how companies including Nike, Adidas, Nestle and Hershey’s are rated in this area and which are making efforts to improve. Users can search brands or items by name to view their ratings, from A to F. An “A” grade means the company has made a commitment to avoid forced labor and is actively working to improve conditions within the industry. An “F” grade means the brand doesn’t give a crap about stopping forced labor.

The records of 40 companies are recorded in detail, allowing shoppers to decide whether they want to give their money to these firms. In this season of good will toward men, those concerned about ending forced slavery will want to check out Free2Work. Download free at the App Store.
