    They spray cheap lead-based paints on the ornaments, which US companies are not allowed to use to make the same ornament, and then they ship it here for us to buy, only to have it break when taking it out of the package, and then fill our landfills.

    Don’t you agree that it would be better if they could go to school? like you lucky one that have a computer and Internet? If they could read, wouldn’t be great?

    If you know what makes a factory a sweatshop, you’ll see it here: workers standing dangerously near moving machinery, using paint sprayers without respirators, kids working on the assembly line. Keep up the amazing documentation work, NLC; these videos need to be seen and understood.

    These kids work because they want to work, not because they are forced to. Factories like this one pay better than the alternatives. If the children weren’t allowed to work they would likely turn to crime or starve.
