Progressive Democrat Issue 60: VIRGINIA FOCUS
From the Virginia Grassroots Coalition:
National Labor Committee Action Alert --Ten to 13-year-olds Sewing "I Love My Wal-Mart" Shirts
An undercover investigation by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's "Zone Libre" program found children 10 to 13 years of age sewing blue "I love my Wal-Mart" shirts in several Bangladesh factories. The children were paid less than ten cents an hour and forced to work long hours in dimly lit and dirty conditions. The children also sewed t-shirts carrying Wal-Mart's "Simply Basic" private label. Go here to read more, see video footage, and a sample letter to WalMart CEO Lee Scott.
WRITE TO TELL WAL-MART TO DO THE RIGHT THING!
