Building Bridges: Your Community and Labor Report National Edition Produced by Ken Nash and Mimi Rosenberg (27:37) ******************************************** "Olympic Sweatshop: Speedo Production in China Breaks Records for Worker Abuse" with Charles Kernaghan, Director, National Labor Committee
Speedo may be the top-selling and best-known swimwear brand in the world, and an official sponsor of the upcoming 2008 Olympic Games in China. But, according to a new report by the National Labor Committee, workers in China producing Speedo sporting goods are drowning in abuse. Toys 'R' Us and Carrefour are also implicated in this sweatshop scandal. ******************************************************** A Bangladeshi Workers Dream with Maksuda, a garment worker & member of the Bangladesh Center for Workers Solidarity
âIf I could earn 4,500 taka a month. [$75.89/month; 37 cents/hr]. For me this would be a dream. I could afford to buy milk for my baby, and baby food. I could repay my loans. I could buy fish & fruit sometimes. I could buy a new dress, so I could go out once in my life without having to wear my dirty dress from work. I would like to have some savings for when I get older.â ********************************************************** for information contact Ken Nash - knash@igc.org
