The price of consumerism

‎"It's a simple fact that many Americans don't want to face. Workers' rights are being trampled upon abroad to keep labor and other production costs down. The price tags we see on goods from those countries may be lower, but that's because someone else has already paid dearly...Jail terms, beating, kidnappings, torture are all-too-common...these violations of basic human rights should not enable foreign nations or multi-national coorperations to prosper." ~ International Union
