I guess these workers had enough...

Unreal that 18,000 workers are willing to not go to work to make their point.

Samuel Gompers, if he were still alive, might disagree with you.

Personally, I think it's more shocking that hundreds of millions don't speak with their wallet and take their business elsewhere to retailers that source their products responsibly. I leave a lot of money on the table because I source everything I possibly can from sources that I know treat their workers well....mostly from North America and Europe. I'm all for maximizing my profits....believe me I am. I'm a capitalist through and through, but how could I look my family in the eye and explain how daddy makes a living by using items built by people that are treated worse than we treat our pets?

Anyhow, it's too bad because these guys will just be out of work and will make their situation worse, and in the end nothing will change until the consumer talks with their money and makes it economically advantageous to change.
