3. I've been in nastier factories in Brooklyn than I have in China.......
now India is another matter. But you know what, most womwn there are thrilled to be working at all, it's exploitive and it sucks, sure. It'll always be the second lowest level of living (right above substinence farming). But factory audits and compliance are common nowadays, and China doesn't do the cheapest labor anymore- it's outsources to Vietnam and Africa. Central America and some Carribean Islands are the worst these days. Those are some really awful manufacturers.
