So you speak on behalf of all third-world people? Funny, I've read a lot of articles and books from people who have studied the conditions and results of slave labor. Not just from American viewpoints, but from the people who have worked in such conditions. None of them seem to be as thrilled as you about Nike paying them next to nothing. Nobody said their standards are the same as mine, but the point is that CEOs are making an arm and a leg by taking advantage of people far removed from eyes first-world consumers.
Global corporations have made it so that these countries now rely on them to make any sort of living--albeit a pitiful one. Natural resources and farmland have been destroyed in order to build factories. They really have no options left.
