The Mere Idea Of Michael Eisner Is A Parasitic Infection Sucking Upon The Teat Of Humanity

Last edited Wed Sep 4, 2013, 07:48 PM - Edit history (1)



Michael Eisner made more in one minute than many of his employees did in an hour. There is something very wrong about this, and the American myth of CEO as God.

It was an undercover video of working conditions in Central America in one of the Disney sweat shops. Women were kept locked in by armed guards, making Disney shirts and souvenirs, for almost no pay, no breaks for 72 hour shifts.

Then they showed a clip of Eisner bragging he had brought the cost of labor on the expensive goods to ZERO per unit. In other words, less than a penny when they are sold here for high prices.

I never looked at Disney with anything but disgust again, but have to hold my tongue when people brag about their trips to Disneyland, etc. It's too late to educate some.

A timeless injustice that is worldwide, and folks do not acknowledge the harm that is being done to people. Then when they get desperate, they are called bad?

is always appreciated. I'm not the greatest with all the tech equipment (some better than others).

Thanks,

David
