Several years ago the women in the sweat shops of Bangladesh went on strike. They were getting 35 cents a hour and they wanted 48 cents a hour. Walmart said they would move out of the country before they would pay 48 cents a hour. Desperate people are trying to immigrate to the U S because they can not feed their family. How would you feel if your wife worked 60 hours and got paid 30 dollars. Slave owners in the South at least furnished food clothing and shelter for the slaves. U S companies fire the poor women if they get sick or pregnant and throw the out on the street. We need a bill Of Rights for workers producing goods for export to the U S. This should be a minimum wage of at lest 3 dollars per hour. A 40 hour work week. Safe sanitary working conditions. For the auto industry and high paid U S jobs, a wage of 30% of the US wage rate would be needed . And the right to have independent international labor unions inspecting to see that the bill of rights is carried out. We are currently subsidizing China over 1 trillion dollars per year through the trade deficit, technology transfers, direct foreign investment, technology transfers. Every company that does business in China has to agree to license their latest patents, lobby the U S government, and take a Chinese partner and give them 51% of the company. US companies on Wall Wall Street have even financed companies owned by the Peoples Liberation Army. We need it invest in our neighbors to the south. China is buying up the U S with profits from the US. We also need to crack down on companies bribing foreign officials.
