according to some sources, speedo (or companies hired to produce products for speedo) is guilty of serious abuse of its employees. follow the link. www.nlcnet.org/reports.php something to think about as we watch those lzr clad titans breaking records. do we care? should we (usms and usa swimming) act? makes me wonder...........how 'bout you?

  • Look at some of the raids done here in the states where illegals are working! Guarantee we wouldn't work under those conditions!!!!! Owners of these companies should be made to work there for a couple of months under the same conditions. And this could be extended to the many food products we enjoy year 'round... so... back to Ulster's original thread questions of "Should we care?" and "Should USMS act?" From an individual point, it comes down to researching and making buying decisions based on each supplying company's record. From USMS' perspective, unless FINA acts, then USMS could be putting its athletes at a disadvantage in international competition.
