I was thinking how poorly made and unattractive new clothes are, and [View all]
they are made by SLAVE LABOR! I am not a Walmart shopper..but sometimes late at night, I run out of glue and run to the local 24hr Walmart to pick up a tube.
When I walk by the clothing area I have a image in my mind, of thousands of Chinese workers, working 18 hours a day, (mandatory overtime) making maybe .15 to .30 cents an hour, at times not getting paid at all.
In this PBS video, a young girl, with clothes pins on the eyelids to keep them open, struggles to make a few dollars to help her family.
Everyone, especially kids, should watch this video. Perhaps they would think twice about the clothes they put on their back, the importance of buying "Made in America".
This is a peek into where the Romney/Ryan budget could take us, all a part of union busting, right to work law.
