thats why they live in mud shacks, eat from landfill's. The point is pay them a bit more, something more livable then 10cents a day and using forced child labor. Don't you get it ? The company can affrod to pay these people something livable but it doesn't. 90 of sweatshops like those in SA provide unlivable wages. Less then a lot of local jobs which are scarse to begin with. is it so hard to conceive paying these people more ? Give them the right to form a union ?. Do you know how much money companies make off of those shoes ? there is a huge profit on them.
