Serop2's Conscientious Action Page
Updated May 25, 2002
The struggle
for social justice is complex; often, we unknowingly support the evils
against which we are fighting. Although it is impossible for any
one person to solve all the world's problems individually, all of us should
try our best not to further the injustices we see. One of the greatest
problems facing our world today is the mass exploitation of workers.
Ever since the Industrial Revolution, large companies have sought to pay
as little as possible to the fworkers who produce the products these companies
sell. Over time, though, both workers and the governments of the
countries in which they worked tried to put an end to exploitation by the
twin means of unionization and labor legislation.
Thankfully,
both unions and labor laws have eradicated exploitation in most of Western
Europe--and to some degree, in the United States--but the new global market
has opened the doors for the exploitation of the peoples of developing
countries all over the world. Without the benefit of either unions
or effective labor laws, these peoples toil, often silently, in wretched
conditions that we in the Western world would never accept in our own countries--if
we knew about them. This corporate colonialism has had horrid effects
on people's lives. Many workers are not allowed to take breaks, use
rest rooms, or even stand up at their jobs without risking being fired.
The wages these people earn are obviously much lower than what they would
be in the closely monitored parts of the developed world, and many workers
do not earn enough to even support their families.
One of
the best examples of this exploitation is the current situation in the
US territory of Saipan. Because it is a US territory, products made
in Saipan can legally carry the "Made in the USA" logo. Unfortunately,
Saipan is the only US territory in which federal labors laws do not apply.
What is worse, many of the workers there are indentured servants.
"Recruiting" companies from Japan often lure poor Chinese women with the
promise that they will be taken to the United States and given good jobs.
These women then pay a large fee for transportation, but instead of being
taken to the continental US, they are shipped to Saipan. There, they
are required to work either as factory workers in sweatshops or as prostitutes
in the territory's booming sex industry. Many of these young women
(often as young as fourteen years old) wish they could go home to their
native countries, but they are not allowed to because they have signed
contracts forbidding them from doing so. The factories in which they
work are rarely unionized, and those who call for unionization are often
abused verbally, physically, and sexually.
I created
this web page because I think it's important for people to know that the
clothes they wear, the appliances they use, and the food they eat may be
the end result of a complex system of exploitation. Unfortunately,
most of us never know that we're participating in this exploitation because
very few people talk about it. Our corparate media have almost completely
ignored the literally tens of thousands of workers being exploited around
the world for our benefit. One of the biggest reasons you'll never
hear anything about this issue on television news is that networks are
sponsored by the companies that have the worst records of human rights
abuses.
The first
step in understanding any problem is to learn as much about it as possible.
At the bottom of this page, there are links to other sites explaining specific
labor and environmental issues. Once we know which companies are
guilty of exploitation, it is important for us to make our voices heard
to these companies. And the best way to do this is the phone, fax,
email, and write the CEOs of these corporations. A single complaint
to a company like Nike or Gap will not do much, but if many people complain,
then these companies will start to listen; the last thing they want is
a public relations disaster.
The next
(and most difficult) step in refusing to participate in exploitation is
to become a conscientious consumer. This means boycotting companies
whose workers have called official boycotts and being generally aware of
the products you buy and where (and how) they were made. To reverse
the famous Nike motto: Just don't do it. Don't be a blind consumer.
Read the tags. Pay attention to the people handing out flyers outside
of malls and retail stores. Shop accordingly. Let me emphasize
that the goal of leafleting and boycotting is not punishment of guilty
companies. We are not calling for an end to business; we are calling
for an end to exploitative business.
Below
is a list of companies that I keep my eye on. Depending on how much
time I have in the near future, I will try to update this list whenever
possible. By the time you read this list, some of these companies
may have changed their practices. Check the date at the top of this
page and try to find a more updated list if this page is more than a month
old. With each company, I have included the following information
whenever possible: names, postal and email addresses, phone and fax
numbers, and whether an official boycott has been called against this company.
(See the Quick Boycott List section.)
I have also given a summary of my reasons for being wary of and/or boycotting
each company. This list is not set in stone, and there are bound
to be mistakes. Please email
me or sign
the guestbook if you have any new information or if you have any
questions or comments about this list.
As I mentioned
earlier, the above list is probably far from complete, so it is important
to always stay informed by visiting other sites (some are listed below)
and to pay attention to the news. Labor issues rarely make it into
the mainstream media, but when they do, you can be pretty sure that the
violations are serious. Many people ask me what they should do with
the products they have already purchased from boycotted companies.
If you have already bought something from a particular company, you have
already supported that company, so using the product in the future does
not really hurt anyone. Some people throw away the products they
already have, but I see this as needless waste. If you're worried
that you're advertising for a company by wearing its clothing, you can
always alter the clothes so that the logo doesn't show or make your own
design. (For example, you can write the word sucks under the
Nike logo.) And if you still don't want to wear your Nike clothes
anymore, then give them to the poor. That way, at least someone will
benefit from them. Finally, boycotts only apply to newly bought products,
so buying clothes or CDs secondhand will not give any money to the original
producers.
I have received
criticism saying that this page is too negative and asking why I don't
offer possible solutions; raising awareness about what's wrong is the first
step in improving any situation. And although these boycotts are
negative (not buying something), their message is positive.
That is why it is so important to contact these companies and tell them
you're boycotting and why. That way, you're trying to enact a solution.
If you still want solutions, the best advice I can offer you is to look
for clothing with Union Made labels. There is also a list of union
made products at Union Label &
Service Trades Department. The organizations and individuals
below may also have information about what you should purchase.

A boycott is only effective if people actually make a conscious effort to avoid buying certain products and services. To make it easier for concerned individuals to respect various boycotts, I have compiled a list of all the boycotted companies on this page. Click here to download this list (available in rich text format). This list does not include all the companies I have mentioned--only those with official boycotts called against them.
Please feel free
to sign the guestbook. I appreciate all thoughtful comments, whether
congratulatory, critical, or a combination of the two. I am especially
interested in hearing information that might contradict what I have presented
here. Also, if you know of companies or campaigns that I have failed
to mention, please let me know.
