NEW YORK, Oct. 24 /U.S. Newswire/ -- The following was released today by the National Labor Committee (NLC) on child labor:
An estimated 200 children, some 11 years old or even younger, are sewing clothing for Hanes, Wal-Mart, J.C. Penney and Puma at the Harvest Rich factory in Bangladesh.
The children report being routinely slapped and beaten, sometimes falling down from exhaustion, forced to work 12 to 14 hours a day, even some all-night, 19- to 20-hour shifts, often seven days a week, for wages as low as 6 and a half cents an hour. The wages are so wretchedly low that many of the child workers get up at 5 a.m. each morning to brush their teeth using just their finger and ashes from the fire, since they cannot afford a toothbrush or toothpaste.

So the West keeps exploiting the East in order to make more Money.
And the US Companies do not seem to have a problem with 11-year old children working for them, 14 hours a day for 36 cents an hour.
