The common theme there is that various companies like Apple, Nike etc. have been caught using subcontractors that do *bad things* in order to keep costs down and to take the heat if exposed.
I fully agree that sweatshop <> Chicago bakery, but the example of gaming the system to keep down costs is accurate.
"Gosh, we didn't know they were sending us so many illegals"
"We had no idea they were using child labor"
"Suicide nets on the roofs? We thought those were for employee team building activities"

Cool! What do you do?
Asset protection.
What's that?
Oh, I spray suicidal employees looking to jump to their doom with a fire truck hose/cannon, if they manage to jump I go fetch the suicide attmpters from the nets and beat them senseless and spray them with a hose again to get back inside and finish their shift.
The fact is Apple should be boycotted nationwide but the U.S. is a bunch of spineless consumer zombies that think they're elite for shopping at their overpriced suburban Apple store. I want to throw up when I see an Apple store.

I hope when the zombies pay their 1,000.00 dollars for their new iphone they feel great inside.
Americans are stupid, if they refused to pay this kind of money for phones, gas, etc....and really raise hell about it, things would change, but as long as they keep buying, they'll make cheaper products at astronomical prices.
All of the corporations are run by rich people. Who give large donations to both parties.
Careful now, you aren't actually complaining about all of the illegal on-shoring by US corporations are you? People will start calling you a racist trumpee.
The more debt you take on, the less taxes you pay. The 16th amendment at work.
Fines and Penalties should be imposed on corporations which hire illegal workers. If Foreign workers had proper visa and work authorization, then no problem. But while citizens and legal Foreigners are not hired, illegal workers are hired and no fines on corporation. Same corporation will again hire illegals.
They do BUT they are allowed to negotiate the fine
