America’s Sweatshop Diplomacy

My family and I went to a local theme park last week and noticed, for the first time in the many, many (oh, too many!) years we've been going that there were many Eastern Europeans manning the rides. Now I guess I know why.

This park has always had a difficult time filling its positions due to the poor way they treat their employees, mostly 15-16 year old, first-job kids. While I hope the foreign workers weren't being taken advantage of, given the park's history, I would be surprised if they weren't at least treated quite poorly.
