Labor Day, the last day of “summer” for all of the vacationers in the United States – what a great day to celebrate all those who work in the world.
We must ask our favorite companies to manage their supply chains more thoroughly. Many people do not feel that workers are important. Often in underprivileged societies there are many people that take advantage of others because of poor labor laws and a surplus of people.
In the Congo, kids mine for 12 hours a day, never being paid a single cent. They work until they die from either mines collapsing on them, trigger-happy militant groups, or lack of medicine. In China, the people who make our favorite electronics, including your and my computer/phone/video game console/camera, work with hazardous materials for 10 hours a day with one 5 minute bathroom break, and no sick days allowed, ever. Some even have to stand for that whole time with no option to sit!
Please show your appreciation of one another on this great week after Labor Day, and if you have a moment ask your congress people to hold companies accountable and your favorite companies to manage their supply chains with more consideration for the worker.
It is important to remember that we are one humanity, who has the option to live in peace, and share unconditional, infinite love.
