THE TRUTH ABOUT APPLE'S FOXCONN WORKERS: They Want To Work MORE, Not Less

[think]

46. I strongly disagree. We can do things to control what happens or Apple wouldn't be

addressing the issue. We as Americans can and do put pressure on companies that use the exploited labor in third worlds. Do you really think those workers want to live in dorms and devote their current life to working long hours at piss poor wages to make widgets for Americans?

No wages are as low as they are in China because the workers have very few rights! Most people seem to have no clue that the end of child labor practices in America and that the 40 hour work week exists due to the struggle of unions to get some rights.

I refuse to drink Coke because they have gone back to murdering union leaders in Columbia and elsewhere:

Coke is just one of many companies that are involved with murdering union members. At least 22 union leaders were murdered in Columbia last year:

I put in many years of long hours 60-110 hour weeks in my life time. One year as a small business owner I only took off 8 days total all year. There is nothing wrong with long hours and hard work but it has to be for something.

No. Complacency and shoulder shrugging is not an acceptable answer in my eyes. We as Americans have a right and obligation to make sure that ALL people who make goods and services we use are treated with dignity and respect and earn a wage worthy of their labor. All people deserve a living wage INCLUDING Americans!
