Many multinational companies these days even are trying to get their work done from remote countries where labour is cheap and new brands of shoes and clothing's mostly make more profits. There is not any harm in getting the work done from the remote locations but when proper measures are not taken by the brand management, for employees and staff working for them, the environment where the work is being done for the company it creates a blurry picture of the future of employees. Proper labour rules should be emphasized. Sweatshops workers find long hours to work in hazardous environment, most of them in these days as well using child labour. Brands like Levis, D & G, Calvin Klein and the list goes on, and most of them are getting the work done from China using the same old sweatshops.
Children want, more than they want anything else, and even
after years of miseducation, to make sense of the world,
themselves, and other human beings. Let them get at this job, with
our help if they ask for it, in the way that makes most sense to
them.
