Yes the labels do matter, because when i buy tools and they are made in Taiwan I know they will bend, China they will snap in half. And USA if they break I can get a full refund. Germany they'll never break and they cost a lot in the first place.

made in italy, made in spain, made in france

I would still buy the clothes. Think about it. the 5 cents they get a day is still better than nothing. I was watching something on t.v and they were talking to kids who worked in sweatshops and they were happy that they could take food home to their family. they said it was just like a job.

I cannot speak for you all, but I only purchase products from communist-run sweat shops.

Your traditional equal opportunity employers.

...mmmm....you know that there are laws stopping that from happening? Right?

I would stop buying the clothes immediately and tell others about the sweatshop thing too. However the problem is that most of us don't know what clothes are made in sweatshops.

i dont exac;ty know what u mean but matt u can check da made in wherever sign on the stuff u buy..that shud tell ya if thats what u mean.....

i dunno! i guess i'm already buying them! i mean how should i know who makes fishbone tshirts or smog swaetshirts etc. i guess i wouldn't buy them if i found out!

coincidentally my mum just came back from america and they bought a lot of dockers and jansport and after coming back we relaised that they were all made in india...god i felt so bad....

they can't have a better economy if we don't even give them enough money to live on. economies are only good when people are spending alot, and they have nothing to spend!

I'm totally discusted by the sweatshop system, but you have to give those other countries time. Once the asian and africans create unions and have better economies, then the companies will be forced to pay more. It is totally unethical, the sweatshops, but "god helps those who help themselves." They will come around sooner or later.

Should we create a Corporate responsibility are of YouthNoise so we can list the companies/products, etc. we hear are not made responsibly and why?

Would you still keep buying clothes and other goods from a store if you found out the stuff is made in abusive sweatships around the world, including in the US (such as tenements in NYC)?

thses sweatshops are not only about wages they totallya fefect the lives of ppl working in3 rd world country from child labour to health problems to every other thing that we genenrally do for the country...it sorta hinders the progress of a country to an extent that ccant be forgiven...
