Disgusting that we are trading with country that uses child labour... We really should sanction them until provably they have solved this and slavery issue.
I don't really even get who that joke is poking at -- not the US presumably; there is plenty of record of U.S. companies being indifferent to poor labor conditions without a sanctioning reaction.
But US Government seems hellbent to sanction all of them.
Counter point: It's a good thing this factory was on US soil allowing the US DoL to do its job. Imagine how many cases of "staffing firms for a sub contractor hiring teenagers" goes unnoticed and unpunished around the world.
14 year olds can legally work at McDonalds in some states, subject to restrictions.
I assume you are not in the USA, talking about trading with the USA?
Child labor is perfectly legal in other US industries, like tobacco production.
The companies using child labor were Korean owned and operated, and this issue was detected and investigated by US media and authorities.
You realize that country is the USA? I'm not sure if you were being sarcastic or what.
