China Cracks Down on Labor Abuse! 568 Workers Freed!!!
568 workers out of 200,000,000 (that's 200 million) were freed!!! F'ing Hoorah!!!

At least 568 workers have been freed, including dozens of boys, and 168 people detained following media revelations that prompted a series of police raids in recent weeks in the north-central provinces of Henan and Shanxi.

snip...

China's 200 million migrant workers have long been victimized through poor or withheld pay, summary termination and discrimination in housing, health and education for their children.

Typically, slaves were sold to kilns for $66 by people traffickers who abducted the young and weak from train and bus stations or off the street, and lured the stronger with false promises of good paying jobs.

Buy more cheap shit, no oppression here.

And let us not forget...!

Forced prostitution, labor houses with 20 occupants (girls) in a 10 x 15 room, 20 minute lunches where slop is served, young kids forced to do 16 hour days making shiny baubles to fill the Marts Wall...nothing to see here, move along...let's give them most favored nation status so that they can feed us lead and cheap shit to satisfy our desire for, well...cheap shit.



Doesn't she look happy!
