Originally posted by vetran View PostIndeed, however I'd prefer to take away some of the profit of the suppliers & multinationals and make sure the workers have slightly more in their pocket.
For example they keep two sets of books. So when you as a Western goes over to say you want to place an order in their factory and ask questions about workers conditions, they will show you the "legal" set of books with the workers start and end times which means they don't do over 50 hours a week.
However when the worker gets their pay slip they get two pay slips. The one from the "legal" set of books and the other from the "illegal" set with the "voluntary" extra overtime they do.
Then they guard fire exits and lock them if the security guard goes on a break to stop workers leaving and not doing their "voluntary" extra overtime.
This stuff has been reported by quite a few Western journalists over the years who go over to the factories to see what is going on.
However a certain UK retailer this century had management doing that to their staff unofficially in the UK (it never came to court so I can't state their name), and M&S were caught forcing their workers to work where there was asbestos so as far as I'm concerned it's lip service."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

That would be the ISO accredited suppliers that hadn't lost their certification for lying then?
yes people lie, but if you make it difficult and level the playing field then it slowly gets better.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment
