Title: Keyboard == Slave Labor Post by: Phoenix on 2009-02-11, 19:24 I just read this article. If you think your job is bad, take a look at these poor souls and what they have to deal with.
http://i.gizmodo.com/5150655/your-keyboards-may-have-been-made-in-appalling-conditions For the record, I use Keytronic keyboards. They are higher quality, but alas, they are also made in China. I have no idea what conditions they are made under, but I fear just about everything made in China is subject to this kind of human abuse, and what isn't made in China anymore? Title: Re: Keyboard == Slave Labor Post by: Sucutrule on 2009-02-11, 21:24 Everything is made in china today is made in china (almost everything made for civilians anyway) and I already realised that people made these items under those conditions. But, as always, we can't do anything purely because it's cheaper paying 5 cents a year to make an keyboard for example than actually having to pay them a decent salary.

Or at least the people in charge of said companies need more gold toilets they can take home after being used cause they found a better looking one with jewels for use at work.
