China is where most Ameican metrial things are made, china holds lots of sweatshops. The factory in have 12,and 13 hours work hours and .33 cents pay per hour. This most be the worst condition in a sweatshop. Its like the chinese government does not care for their people. It doesnt matter to them the wrong in what they due. China has been observed alot by labor watchers. "On December 15, 2005 China Labor Watch and the National Labor Committee released two reports on Wal-Mart factories in Southern China. One factory manufactures stationary, such as notebooks and holiday cards. The other produces toys, such as battery-operated trucks (see picture above). In both factories workers receive dismal wages, are cramped into hot dormitories and work exhausting hours at an unbelievably fast pace. Workers are working up to thirteen hours a day, six to seven days a week." The workers work exhausting hour without respentation. They do not have a union or a group whom speakers out for their needs,the works do not have any insuarce, or benefits. The worst thing in my opinion is thats no one seems to care for thier needs. Its is another expenice for the factory owners, and of course the number one thing on thier minds is max. profit. "China has a single trade union system organized through the All-China Federation of Trade Unions (ACFTU). It is well-known that China does not comply with ILO Convention No.87 (Freedom of Association and protection of the Right to Organize), nor Convention No.98 (Right to Organize and Collective Bargaining). It has not ratified those Conventions, mainly because China does not enable independent unions to be formed."
