Sweatshop raided again

The Indian factory accused of being a child labour sweatshop for retail giant Gap Inc. is still in production.

Following reports that the factory in Shahpur Jat was using child labour to produce garments for Gap's children's line, New Delhi police have conducted two raids on the factory.

Officers first descended on the factory Monday afternoon, finding 14 children in a single workshop. Children's aid workers and journalists accompanied the police. On Tuesday, another 28 children were rounded up.

is a cheaper shirt really worth the price of a childs youth?

It isn't either the streets OR sweatshops - if children were not made to work, the work would have to be done by adults. If the adults are paid a decent wage, then they don't need the children to also work and then the children can go to school.

With education, the children can then make a better life for that generation and if their parents earn proper money, they can invest it in the community, thus enriching it.

That's why child labour/sweatshops are so bad.

@chizzy555 NOOOO!! I i would rather have an economic system where i can AFFORD TO BUY the product, regardless of the price instead of this senseless race to the bottom we have going on. falling prices should come from superior technology, innovation, and management, NOT CHEAP LABOR that only benefits a few and screws everyone else.

@xz28camaro THEY GET NOTHING in return!! You probly do. YOU ARE JUS SOME WHINY ONE! your working conditions AIN"T NUTHIN compared to the SWEATSHOPS

I used to manage a factory in India- it was about the only place in the area paying well. Consequently I had great power over who I let in, often abusing it horribly in order to gain sexual favours from women.

One time I recall demanding ‘oral service’ from a girl, even though her friends said her Dad’s funeral had been earlier that week. Still I demanded the full price of admission- though visibly upset, she went down on her knees before me; it was as if her tears lubricated my vile lust.
