There is Phan Oem, 53, who says she clocked up to 76 hours a week producing clothing for Nike and other American brands, sometimes forced to work seven days a week. She says she feared being fired if she didn’t work through lunch breaks, on holidays and occasionally overnight. After 12 years spent packaging clothes, her base pay was the minimum wage: $204 a month.
Just a reminder, these corporations and not making razor thin margins. They can afford to pay better wages.
Razor thin describes operation expenses nowadays. Basically non existent corporate taxes ensure this kind of behavior. No reason to reinvest if you can keep all the profits without any of the taxes.
Can’t wait for this factory to be moved to USA.
By the time it gets here, the workers will have the same conditions if the Republicans get their way.
