I'm not sure, but those of us in the USA might be appalled to learn that a great many of the products we buy and use everyday (that are imported) come from less than desirable working conditions. The Olympics bring a focus to China in particular, but there are plenty of dangerous and abusive work environments around the globe funded by our consumption-based economy.
Try to find a reasonably priced shoe not made in China these days...
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.
