The international field is huge and hard to police. And production patterns are so scattered that it is often hard to trace a product from start to finish. That is one reason why I support including in the code independent monitoring and the requirement to list the specific address of the plant where the university product is manufactured. Our challenge today, even if harder, is no less important. We must not tolerate products made with exploited labor.
Child labor is a scourge that deserves our greatest efforts.
Hard working men and women that are trying to support their families deserve respect from us all, and particularly from their employers. They deserve the right to a fair wage with wich they can support their families. They deserve the right to organize and to bargain collectively. They deserve the right to a safe and clean workplace. And children should be in school, not at work earning pennies a day.
