Ah, how convenient. You ignore my deconstructing of your previous arguments and then jump back in with more wild accusations. An anecdote about one child be treated badly is not proof that the majority of foreign labor is child labor being paid a pittance for extremely long hours.

If you're angry about child labor, you should be scolding India for not banning it, or not enforcing said ban.

Because that is the reality of the situation, some one setting up a factory in an Indian slum, taking advantage of the people in desperate need there.

Nothing to do about "the willingness to work for lower wages.", it is unethical exploitation and wage-slavery of those in need.
So, better to not give those desperate people any job? Better they remain even more desperate and poor and hungry than they would be if they had even a terrible job? Just what do you think would happen if you managed to get some sort of international minimum wage? That the poor third world workers would cheer your name for making them lose their jobs?

Also; we're talking about the US here, and why unions went bad here. Don't you have any thoughts on the video I posted? Or would that put a wrinkle in your 'unions are perfect' world?
