Why don't you structure this business as a worker's co-op? That would give your workers an actual say in democratically deciding what constitutes a safe environment.

EDIT: also, if you're in Greece and want to help refugees, why not collaborate with the anarchist groups doing a lot of that work already?

If you are truly "not a factory", why don't you structure this enterprise as a worker's cooperative? Why not allow your workers to own and manage the production of these t-shirts democratically, alongside you?

This just sort of seems like you are using refugees as cheap labor and you've cooked up a good story.

OP wants donations. If this is just a business, whatever, run your business. but don't ask for donations like this is a charitable organization, and then turn around and start making profits

I don't know what that legal form means in the Greek context, but to truly be a worker's co-op, ownership of the entire company must be shared by all employees. That means the deed is in everyone's name, and everyone collectively decides business decisions, working hours, and what happens with the revenue. No bosses.

that's the only way I would support this. Otherwise it's just the same old for-profit enterprise with a pretty face.
