In a factory in China that makes Levi jeans, women sew for 12 hours a day for less than 12 cents an hour, with only 2 days off each month. Also, they receive no healthcare and no compensation for injury.

In a factory in Vietnam that makes Nike shoes, employees work for 65 hours each week, for less than $10 a week. Most of these employees suffer from respiratory problems caused by breathing in chemical fumes at work.

In a factory in India, boys work 22 hour shifts sewing beads onto scarves, and are beaten if they make even a tiny mistake.

Factories in China which make ipads and iphones for Apple employ impoverished teenagers for about 25 cents an hour, with forced overtime, in dangerous working conditions. As a result, many workers have committed suicide, fights have broken out, and in one instance, an explosion killed two workers.

In a factory in China which makes Christmas ornaments for Wal-Mart, employees work 95 hours a week without the proper safety equipment to protect them from the various paints, paint thinners, and solvents they were exposed to.
