I just gave "mattel" and "gap" the consumer bitching session of a LIFETIME! lol As an american consumer, I feel like I just took a stand for whoever is out there suffering. I told both of the companies that I will no longer be purchasing toys or clothes from either, they were INTENSE conversations! those consumer relations people are easy to piss off! hahahaha peace on earth! :D

[mcapps1]

why are we still allowing companies to waste resources to make this useless crap for our children, instead of EDUCATIONAL toys?

comparing US labour costs of living and expenses, economic standing and population to China's....hmm I see a bit juxtaposition.

Sure, raise their labour costs up to say, $15 an hour from $0.50 an hour. Lets see what happens. People will get killed for their jobs, the vast prices of goods will skyrocket overnight, and Wal-Mart will go out of business, forcing hundreds of thousands of Americans out of work.

.....supply and demand unfortunately :(

@ccheng21 Didn't you hear what this guy said? "There's enough money in the mok-up of these toys to treat the workers like human beings." And that is obvious seeing that the mok-up of the toy is $20.99 and the workers are paid $0.19. Also, you can't compare the value of money in the US to China.

[MyTenToes]

@MyTenToes Even if you properly convert the different kinds of currencies, money is still worth more is poorer countries like China. But anyway, the workers are paid below minimum wage, and the WHOLE point that this person is trying to make is that the company will still survive if they improved working conditions and paid their workers more fairly. If the company was incapable of treating their workers more fairly they wouldn't be having this TV interview.

@ccheng21 No one is suggesting raising assembly line workers' wages in China to $15.00/hr. That's a straw man argument. What is being proposed here is that the demand for labor would not decline at the companies Kernaghan has cited - Mattel, the Gap, Walmart, etc - if they were to as much as double their wages to $.90/hr. The highest min. wage in China is in Shenzhen (1000 RMB) or $143/mo (@ 80 hrs/wk, that's abt $.6/hr). Mattel wld benefit if wages were raised bc domestic markets wld grow.

I am more afraid of private corporations than our government. At least we have the Constitution to back us. Private corporation can screw the whole nation and run away, and there's nothing we can about it.

Natural, organic & free-trade are the best ways to go whenever possible...especially in this day-in-age, what is wrong with the world? 'Advanced' my-ass, it's going backward, not forward; as far as Labour is concerned! You'd think these torture-chamber's would be abbolished!

[FlowersClouds]

This really is hideous....I used to collect Barbie collector, but months ago I decided even before seeing this, I knew a lot of these companies were guilty of this disgusting shit and I wont be a part of it anymore.

You know what bugs me about these sort of videos?

They're usually produced by people who embrace the ideology of the government that encourages the abuse.

[airforcemax]

Google: Sam's Club 6625+FBI regarding the corrupt Walmart and how the FBI protects them.

[schnangos]

this is so disgusting, corporations shouldn't get away with this. Its criminal.

More people should be made aware of this.

Read "no logo" by naomi klein. Its all about things like this and also mcdonalds, disney, nike, gap etc.

nobody cares. this low IQ population (USA) care only shopping and eating.

[iTweet2010]

@icore64 i care.... this is important!

[musicalidea]

@icore64 50 hrs/wk and $.45 in China is much better than what they get paid in Bangladesh - now it's about $.11-$.13/hr for an 80-100 hr work week (in 2010). We must remember, nobody cares in this (US) low IQ population concerned only with surfaces, shopping and eating, because it has been systematically diluted of the faculties and sentiments it might possess were it not left to educate itself and work min. wage jobs without health care. The potential for conscience still remains.

[sevenelizabeth]

@icore64 It is a false perception that all Americans are like that. That is what "the man" wants the world to think of us.

[hastobe24]

AMAZING  that only 44 views. So sad. Would be wonderful if more people were aware of this problem.
