Sweatshop Hall of Shame 2010

As we approach the holidays, a time consumed with buying, I thought "Sweatshop Hall of Shame" was appropriate to share.

As people of faith, we cannot turn a blind eye to how our actions affect others. When considering how you use your (buying) power, please think about the people that are affected the most. Buy from companies that pay fair wages and care about the safety of their workers. Its so easy to only think about getting the best deal, but often the shirt or tomato that was such a great steal was sold that cheap thanks to the wage theft or other violations of low-wage workers.

Also, good companies are forced out of business by the companies who save money by stealing wages and not providing a safe workplace.

And a few resources I found for looking up the business practices of specific companies (let me know what sites I'm missing):
Crocodyl - Collaborative Research on Corporations
Business and Human Rights Resource Center
Ethical Corporation
