Slave Labor.


I bought some t-shirts by a famous label but when I got home they were so poorly made that the necks were skewed drastically to one side.

I looked to see where they were made - Bangladesh.

They were produced in the sweat shops of Asia.

The worker probably had less than a minute to make them and received about 20 cents each for them.

We are benefiting from slave labor.

Not only do we get cheap goods but the companies making the profits out of them pay us dividends.

We might be able to get some of these issues onto the AGM agenda but they are always voted down.

So all we can do is speak out against corporate corruption in the hope that someone might benefit.
