HONDURAN WORKER CLAIMS SEAN COMBS CLOTHING USES SWEATSHOP DURING PRESS CONFERENCE IN NEW YORK, 2003-10-28 (photo)

Lydda Gonzalez, a garment worker in Honduras, looks towards the media as a Sean John Collection shirt is shown, during a press conference in New York, October 28, 2003. Workers' rights activists on Tuesday said hip hop music and fashion entrepreneur Sean Combs' trendy clothing line Sean John used a "sweatshop" in Honduras where women sew expensive garments for pitifully low pay. Factory managers cursed at workers, refused to pay overtime, fired them when they became pregnant and blocked efforts to form a union, a report by the New York-based National Labor Committee said. Combs performs as "P.Diddy" and became one of hip hop's most successful and enduring stars as "Puff Daddy." PP03100132 REUTERS/Stephen Chernin SC/GN
