Since so many of the workers are napping, how do we know that it isn’t something they just do at break time. I mean look at any break room in the USA and someone is always asleep during breaks.

I don't believe in secondary, tertiary, etc. guilt.

Is MS demanding that this factory treat its workers this way? If not, then aren't I just as guilty as MS? After all, I benefit (to SOME degree) from this. So do millions of other end-users. Are they all guilty?

I believe in the guilt of the perpetrator, not including everyone downstream from the perpetrator.

If you buy this crap, then you must also accept the whole "white guilt" argument, since white Americans have arguably benefitted to SOME degree from black slavery.

Say NO to the false doctrine of inherited guilt!

Those girls are tired because of all the lonely Chinese guys chasing them with the women shortage and all.

That’s how the night stockers (10:30 pm - 6:30 am) at Wal-Mart looked at break time the first few weeks on the job. (I was one of ‘em.)

This is BS, in China workers would be shot for sleeping on the job en masse. That is the image China doesn't want you to see.

This is heads down, nap time like we used to take in grade school.

“The mostly female workers, aged 18 to 25, work from 7.45am to 10.55pm, sometimes with 1,000 workers crammed into one 105ft by 105ft room. They are not allowed to talk or listen to music, are forced to eat substandard meals from the factory cafeterias, have no bathroom breaks during their shifts and must clean the toilets as discipline, according to the NLC.”

And I got in trouble here on FR for calling that “slave(?) labor”.

Technically, not. But.....

Apparently China is fining the company:

Which I guess gives some credence to the accusations (I’m not quick to trust somebody that partners with unions), but it looks like all the appropriate actions are taking place (fines by China, investigations by MS).

How do we know this is even China much less what the British article claims. How do we know this isn’t a mandated break of some sort?

“Journalists” are the most scummy people on Earth and lie to forward liberal political agendas.
