i'd have to go check. dickies says made in honduras, and that's most of my clothing.
if that's the case, so be it.
at least i'm not trying to import sweatshops to america, unlike some people.

That's called "Protectionism", and you wouldn't even have iPads, iPods, big tv's, etc (all made in China) if you did that.
Protectionism is SO 19th Century, you guys invented globalisation, now deal with it

i think it is more like we owe china a ton of dough so we can't pull that or they call in their loan to us....but if i were in charge we would have paid china off...cut the defense budget by 50-60%...close 85% of our offshore bases...never invaded iraq or afghansitan ..and started to tax the shit out of imports.

turns out conditions in honduras are not absolutely horrible like i was expecting. min wage is about $7k a year for a manufacturing job, work week is 44 hours, and severance is required after 2 months. not allowed to fire pregnant women either.
or, as some might say, socialists!

Look at the wages and benefits of the dickies workers in Pakistan.
You buy most of your clothes from a company that loves itself some sweatshops.

Nah according to the links it says severance payments are required after two months, regardless of which side pulls out.

The way I read it, if the worker does something wrong to get fired, nothing is due to them.

Yup, this is one of the very real problems in America right now. It's called self-entitlement syndrome. Unfortunately those who have it, are almost never able to understand this.
It's absolutely insane to see people trying to justify what a "livable wage" is and that individuals should be obligated in receiving these "livable wages", as if they're owed anything at all by another person.
A human being in not entitled to anything other than their life, freedom, and right to defend both. Beyond those three rights, nobody owes anyone else anything, period... let alone is a self-entitled bitch owed anything.
