  Also, subsidies to European cotton, meat, and other produce prevent Africans from competing fairly.

  Good idea. Import tariffs should also go away. That money can be spent on improving worker conditions.

  Or we could just give the poor people in Africa good work conditions with worker unions, a decent payment and legit contracts. That was my idea. Since we're not in position to decide this, because we are the customers, we should use the powers of customers. Like informing about this situation, consuming sweatshop free products and thinking about boycotts for products that are still produced under such aweful conditions. Even a customer letter to a local company can change small things. That's what I have experienced.

  Alternatively, we could keep shoes expensive to pay for dead-end jobs here, and let the useless poor people in Africa die.

  So old factories are better than new ones? Why throw away money?

  c4t2007: Doesn't make it better that companies from western countries establish new factories in Third World countries and close the old ones - and release the old employees. Also, it's hypocritic for Nike / Converse to promote Chucks within the Hardcore / Punk scene. Have you thought about those three points? Because workers in Third World contries don't have as much opportunities as in western countries dosn't legitimate the actions of western Sweatshop companies in Third World contries.

  Skemmer: Do you have any facts or was that even suppost to funny? I'm not into all this internet humor you know...

  Surely they can do other work that pays better. How about not working at all and just going to school? That costs money... Free education then? Books, water, and sunlight are cheap. Grandpa can help teach them to read as he's too old to do manual labor.

  "Blackspotsneakers.org: Sweatshop free and ethical Chucks alternative - looks like shit" I think they're cool. especially much cooler than forced labour.
