Uk and other western countries were once thriving with this type of industry as well as factories of other nature such as engineering and electronics etc etc. but greedy company officials including the govt decided to ship the lot or most of the industry over to china cause labour is cheaper than here. So has caused a hugh vacumn of job losses at an uninmaginable level and it only getting worse and worsey.
Where are the mass of Slaving people? All i see is what looks to be a textile factory, with mass rows of machines running. I've worked at Turbine Blades factory for Aircraft Engines in Connecticut, US. Believe me the conditions there are pretty bad. 1/2 workers on factory floor barely spoke english, they were from S. America. Imagine working next to heat treating furnaces, sand blasting machines and metal plating lines in summer, bad ventilation, and 110 deg heat.
@danpt2000 I don't see the point in relativizing the working conditions at the factory. I'm not defending what happens at american factories, but what I saw was people working in 40+ degrees celsius with dangerous chemicals and no ventilation. When you looked in the face of the workers you could see that some of them looked seriously ill. In my opinion this situation has to be solved.
@kattracka: i see what you are trying to do. Perhaps watching video does not show the temperature and fumes. But people need to know that such working conditions are not exclusive to so-called "developing nations". Here in the advanced West, the working class endure similar conditions. There was a reason why Industrial Revolution ended-exploitation of proletariat, concentration of wealth at the elites-things haven't changed much.
They work so hard but probably get 1-2% out of all the value of the products. The retailers in western countries get 10 times more than they pay for the workers in such conditions for every jean/clothing they sell. This is an unfair world and it will continue to be so.
The noise seems *deafening* in the production space (around 2 min. into video). I wonder if they are issued any ear protection, like earplugs? Being subjected to HOURS of that every day surely must have an adverse affect on the hearing?
The more you look the more you find even worse things. I'm sure there are people somewhere being ethinically cleased who would do anything to see their children work in a place like this and have a better life than they have now.
Awesome video it looked pretty automated in that part of the factory, Americans look at the chinese workers with such empathy yet our laziness put them there and continues to do so. We as a country hopefully step it up and start working hard ourselves.
What's allowing these places to go overseas is the lack of regulations. It's not so much the fumes or heat (I've worked in several places like that, hot with toxic fumes and all had regular OSHA visits and were never fined), it's the other violations our Federal Government puts on businesses. Lock-out, Tag-out systems, forklift certification, etc ALL cost money which these companies skip. Safety isn't a concern if you are over-populated.
these two, look at them, they are looking down on china, we had this type of work in europe at one time and not that long ago, this is a lot better than selling whats happining in europe where students that leave school go into the sex trade or drug trade. This to me looks like a very up todate factory.
I bet alot people here moaning about the conditions will moan alot when nearly everything you buy in products not food is 4 times the price, if made in the usa or the uk then you soon turn a blind eye to it ;)
There are no "real assembly", this is a real factory. However, this factory, like all other Chinese factories have subcontractors w horrible working conditions just as you described.
That is a good point to note about the subcontractors, but I was just remarking that the portions of the factory shown in the video are much cleaner, more open, better lighted, etc. than the majority of the sweatshops in the region that produce the clothing for the wealthier nations' retailers. I.e. the video gives a false image of the actual conditions that characterize most factory workers' daily environment.
True that! Although when I was there I though the conditions on this particular factory was appalling as well. The stench from the dyeing machines, people working in +30 degrees celsius heat without any ventilation what so ever, breathing in dangerous fumes day in, day out. People spinning cotton without any protective wear, meaning that they breath in the cotton fibres every day, it was awful.
I am trying to understand this video... It was a walk around a denim mill? Wow, and they manufacture for major labels, well who do you think they will manufacture for? The factory looked clean and tidy and well set out. Perhaps I should show you around some of England's textile factories!
Such Brutal Conditions, Slave Labor and Naked Abused Prisoners Every where and Armageddon Every where !!! Its the End of the World as we Know It Look Out' Ahhhhhhhhh' !!!
If you look at the description of the video you, then you might see that you are only quoting your own stupid head in this comment. Also I still have this factory on my MSN list so if you want to work there, that can be arranged. But it would never be the same for you as for the people who choose between working there and living in even more extreme poverty.
Could it be some of the Black Market Fake Crapola' you find on the Web and in China, the Philippines', Russia, Mexico, South America, eBay and Swat Meets in the U.S ?
I used to buy LL Bean pants. Last 3 pairs I bought were made in china out of rotted fabric. They lasted 3 months and then just ripped right down the middle of the cloth (not on a seam) just like they were 10 year pants. I never buy cloths from china - they are shit.
No kidding. My luckies are still in perfect shape after a year of solid use. Made in the USA and the price is as low as 50 bucks if you get them on sale.
Thanks so much for posting this... What a spirit these guys had, going into this factory like this... The truth about the stupid fantasy society western middle classes live in is out there, in such places as chinese factories.
This proves that even with the signing of a Non-Disclosure Agreement, the Chinese are going to allow anyone into the facility, especially if it means the potential for "new" business. You could have been a rep for "Lee" Jeans and gaining access to the operations......sheesh. Beware, if you do business in China, they will let someone in to see your product being manufactured as well.
The chinese don't care about non-disclosure agreements really when the state owns 51% of the factory they claim rights to the state or all the workers. They even go so far as to sell imitation levis and such online.
So then that begs the question: Why in the world would any outside sales and marketing company want this particular factory making its' Jeans? That was the point I was making in my original post.
Plus, not all factories are 51% owned by the gov't in China. I do business in China on other textile products and my factory is 100% wholly owned by an individual. He pays his taxes locally and nationally, but the government has no ownership in his operation.
I don't see anything wrong on this factory. Huge factory and really good conditions, probably they don't get pay that much.
