transpaoI do understand that it's hard to sacrifice the things you enjoy doing because you have beliefs.
And I'd like to take this time to make a few amendments to my former post:
First off... Wal-Mart did not say they do not accept responsibility for the workers... they simply lied and said they would stop doing business with the former Burma and then have not.
If you are going to Shop with a company like Wal-Mart PLEASE at lest read your labels!!! Please do some research. Know that "Made in Myanmar" means that the garment was made in the former Burma by the dictatorship that has taken over.
Know that Burlington coat factory has said it will reject any clothing that is "Made in Myanmar."
What people don't seem to see:
You require a minimum wage.
You require workers comp.
You require health insurance.
You require good working conditions.
These things cost the companies money.
The company YOU work for cannot compete with countries that do not have regulations on workers rights.
If you do not spend the little extra on buying at least from other countries that require some sort of workers regulation, then YOU will be OUT OF WORK!
