The problem with the world is that shipping is too reliable and efficient. There really is no real detriment to exploiting overseas labor. The governments of foreign nations that we exploit don't have the same laws regarding fair pay, ethical treatment of employees, and discrimination.

American companies are taking advantage of the low wages of foreign employees. What is the point of having a minimum wage in our own country when US countries opt to employ a foreign labor force? Why have child labor laws in the US when our companies use children overseas to make our products? Why have workplace safety standards here when the conditions in a third world nation do without them (hence lower operating costs).

We are at a critical point in the free market where the lack of ethics proves to be profitable. What is the solutions? The world has reached the point whereas the international corporations will resist removing the exploitation ingredient from their business diet.

There is a dependency upon this oppressed workforce. It seems as though the US abolished slavery in the states only to pick it up across the border. Companies are addicted to this no different than a druggie is to dope. Send the world to rehab!
