Actually, I overstated the pay in Bangladesh for many garment workers.

“Unskilled workers in the garment sector are worse off still, receiving just BDT800 (US$11.5) a month and often forced to toil for 14-16 hours a day.”

Same link as #25. Yep, people should be really proud to come here and excuse a system of trade that results in workers being paid $11.50 per month, and who knows how many hours they are required to work.

In the meantime, 70 workers might soon be without jobs and on government assistance just so Americans can buy sleeping bags for maybe $10 less.
