its all about money and more of it. no one seems to care, then you go and give comapnies an excuse saying they had to. my god. 10 cents a day for these people. Im talking about social justice here.

Our lives shall not be sweated from birth until life closes;
Hearts starve as well as bodies; give us bread but give us roses!"----from the labor song 'Bread and Roses' by James Oppenheim .


[quote:b5524]Out sourcing is definatly not a totally bad thing. You can compare this to when our army goes out to protect or defend freedom in other countries. Not everyone agrees with it but it must happen. With outsousorcing many jobs are created for poor/undeveloped countries. Yes, the pay is not great and yes the jobs are usually shitty. Do you know what that person would be doing if that job wasn't there? Probably shoveling shit for even less money than they get for sewing soccer balls. You might hear how bad the pay is but the only other stable job in these countries is farming. It gives them a chance to help out in the global economy. These people in the foreign countries were not forced to take this job, they chose to because it was a better oppurtunity than the one they had[/quote:b5524]

so getting a 12 year old kid to make your nikes is a good thing ? & these companies should be paying the workers a livable wage not 10 cents a day. Its not a hard concept, considering they charge 40 bucks a a t shirt. thats alot of profit if you ask me. why not just pay them better ? its possible yet not being done.
