Hidden Face of Globalization

Back



PART II is now available on Youtube and at: (www.nlcnet.org/article.php?id=243) In the global economy, corporations demand enforceable laws - intellectual property and copyright laws - backed up by sanctions to protect their products. However, when we ask these same companies, "Can't we also protect the rights of the 16-year-old who made the product?," the companies respond: "No. That would be an impediment to free trade!" Young garment workers in Bangladesh share their experiences working for companies like Disney and Wal-Mart.

No, all depends on how rich you are.

No, they don't do that because there's no family farm to go to. They are born in this world without anything. Believe me, you wouldn't be saying that if you had been born in a 3rd world country.

Hey quit bitching about labor exploitation. Without western companies investing in the 3rd world, those chocolate-faced mud puddlers wouldn't have ANY jobs at all. $10,000 USA pays CASH for a house in India so to them what we would consider "low wages" is a windfall.
