Sweatshops
So, today is the 93rd anniversary of the triangle shirt waist fire. Please remember that these issues are not in our past, they are part of our present. There are sweat shops all over the world, even our backyard.
The following argument is for those who don't care about life outside these borders--Even if we solve the problem in this country, the treatment of workers elsewhere affects workers here. If you can pay a kid in Thailand next to nothing and change him to the machine he works on, Why would you set up shop in the U.S.?
Remember that the workers fight is international and it is nowhere near finished.
