"Something you need to understand is that when #capitalists #say something “can’t be #automated” what they mean is “it can be automated, but running a #sweatshop is cheaper.”

Meanwhile, when #workers say something “can’t be automated” they mean “maybe you can automate it but the results will be somewhere between ‘incredibly poor #quality’ and ‘turns #people into meat paste’.”

Anyway I feel like that’s a distinction worth mentioning."

Kledingmerk Patagonia lijkt alles goed te doen: voor zijn werknemers, voor de mensen die de kleding maken en voor het milieu. Het imago van het bedrijf – dat zegt te bestaan om de planeet te redden – is heel anders dan dat van fast-fashionmerken als asos, Primark en Nike. Maar de kleding van Patagonia wordt in precies dezelfde fabrieken gemaakt, onder dezelfde erbarmelijke omstandigheden.

..haar, mocht haar man overlijden. Een soort #pensioen voor de #bruid, vastgelegd in hun #huwelijkscontract.

In #india is een #bruidsschat, hoewel verboden, nog heel gebruikelijk voor een #huwelijk als een #vrouw wil #trouwen. Als je ouders dat geld niet hebben, dan werken die #meisjes er zelf voor op jonge leeftijd in een #sweatshop. 😖
Als ik onderstaand lees, dan schrik ik. 3 jaar werken voor een #bruidschat van 500 euro? 😡

Today in Labor History March 25, 1911: Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire in New York City killed 146 people, mostly immigrant women and young girls who were working in sweatshop conditions. As tragic as this fire was for poor, working class women, over 100 workers died on the job each day in the U.S. in 1911. What was most significant was that this tragedy became a flash point for worker safety and public awareness of sweatshop conditions.

The Triangle workers had to work from 7:00 am until 8:00 pm, seven days a week. The work was almost non-stop. They got one break per day (30 minutes for lunch). For this they earned only $6.00 per week. In some cases, they had to provide their own needles and thread. Furthermore, the bosses locked the women inside the building to minimize time lost to bathroom breaks.

A year prior to the fire, 20,000 garment workers walked off the job at 500 clothing factories in New York to protest the deplorable working conditions. They demanded a 20% raise, 52-hour work week and overtime pay. Over 70 smaller companies conceded to the union’s demands within the first 48 hours of the strike. However, the bosses at Triangle formed an employers’ association with the owners of the other large factories. Soon after, strike leaders were arrested. Some were fined. Others were sent to labor camps. They also used armed thugs to beat up and intimidate strikers. By the end of the month, almost all of the smaller factories had conceded to the union. By February, 1910, the strike was finally settled.

Weird Marketplace Find of the Day. Here's a political/social statement to counter all that consumerism most of us have endured this season. This is a custom-made piece of art (so not a toy) that not so subtly calls out shoe manufacturers for their use of child labour. There is a good book on this called No Logo by Canadian author Naomi Klein. It's a bit dated now. #WeirdMarketplace #Nike #Sweatshop #Consumerism #sneakers #RunningShoes #Trainers #ChildLabor #Art #BuyAndSell

I #boycott Amazon b/c I don't want a single penny of mine to empower them. They finance #climatedenial, they hire #ALEC members #FedEx & #UPS, and their excessive packaging is wasteful. Apart from #climate issues, Amazon is an extreme #sweatshop & they are likely the world's biggest spender on #facialrecognition. Their AWS is the cause of widespread #centralization. So #Amazon is evil in countless ways.
