Only big companies in the world can be powerful enough to change the colour of Christmas. Coca cola changed santa's suit to red. Behind the bright, colorful labels of the fashion world, there hides a less attractive truth about the clothes we wear. Workers hunch over sewing machines in sweatshops, kept awake by forced amphetamine ingestion on 72-hour shifts.
Disney is a nightmare, a company far more abusive than the wicked old step-sisters who kept Cinderella in bondage. In Vietnamese sweatshops, hundreds of young women who are only 17, 18, 19 years old, spend their youth making little giveaway toys that are based on cute characters from Disney movies. These little toys are part of the "Happy Meals" that McDonald's fast-food restaurants sell.
Sign for the rights of people everywhere all over the world.
Big Power full companies actually get away with paying there workers next to nothing. An average sweatshop worker has to work 3 months before they have enough money to buy a item that they have made themselves.
They have to work in harsh conditions, with a maximum of 20 minuets break a day.
They are forced to work over time, for free. Well either that or they get fired, and since that is the only job available, they haven't really got a choice have they.
