[QUOTE="whatbogsends, post: 69622753, member: 11978"] No, they were arguments conservatives on these boards have made to me in threads where i condemned the practices of sweatshops. Or this exchange: I can keep digging, and find a whole bunch of other examples of self-proclaimed conservatives arguing that sweatshops are good because they are jobs that people take "[B]willingly[/B]" (as in, they are [I]willing [/I]to work long hours in unsafe conditions rather than starve). From the linked report: "Pedro and his mother worked at a Tyson plant in North Carolina for four years—until the day in 2014 when they were abruptly dismissed.17 They were called to the office and told, “You’ve done a good job, it’s just that we’re cutting personnel.”18 Pedro—who took pride in doing his job well and knows that the plant is always looking for more workers—believes[B][I] they were dismissed because they had learned about their rights[/I][/B], and were taking action to educate others. [URL]https://www.oxfamamerica.org/static/media/files/Lives_on_the_Line_Full_Report_Final.pdf[/URL] I can't speak to the accuracy of the report, but knowing one's rights while simultaneously being poor doesn't guarantee that those rights are protected.
