"South Korea is building the pilot industrial park for garment and other labor-intensive South Korean businesses which want to capitalize on the North’s cheap labor."

There'll always be a market for slave labor, I guess. At least, this sort of thing helps insure there will be.

Let's see, would you rather starve or work cheap ?

Other choices come later. People flocked to dirty,dangerous 19th century factories because they believed it was still better than starving in the pre-welfare/socialist age.

What are all the sweatshop people who have NO job to buy food supposed to do after righteous indignation shut down those South American/Asian?Caribbean factories ?

Ideally, businesses would ALL insure healthy working conditions, etc.

But passing laws and edicts won't change physics,natural economics,or the human heart. We can try to curtail greed by social pressure, but I note that the Hollywood types leading the socialist chorus are not ashamed to demand MILLIONS of dollars for their acting "jobs".
