Chinese Sweatshop 2

I finally got a look at my Mother-in-Law's workplace, which is basically a sweatshop. The workers there work 13 hours a day, 7 days a week. For each square of cloth they make, which requires 200 back-and-forth motions on the machine, they receive 1 yuan ($0.20). They receive room and board from the company, and bring home about 1400 yuan a month ($200). This is how your "made in China" clothes are made!

how is the worker affording a video phone?

[visigoth101]

I'm not a worker there. The sweatshop is managed by my Chinese mother-in-law, I'm an American

Wow... 7 days a week! It's basically slavery. Work 23 hours a day and provide minimal food or...die.

[visigoth101]

Keep in mind, if they didn't work 13 hours a day for $200 a month here, they would toil on a small plot of farmland 14-16 hours a day for less than $100.

I'm guessing the factory workers your describing weren't being paid 50c an hour...that's the point

[Ratlord9876]

So basically they work their butts of for low money or work their butts off for even less.

Greed and selfishness brought America to it's knees - It's rebellious culture's persistance in practicing unbridled foolish freedom assures ignorant bliss.
