Universally know labor laws are what you, I and every American expect from an employer...Fairness and to be treated with dignity, the ability to take a day off if you are sick, to speak freely without fear of reprisal. I mean, why is it acceptable to have one set of standards for the western world and another for the third world? It's really not about the pay, it's about the other things. Some may say that's not a corporations job but what are corporations but a reflection of us? Of what kind of people we are?
