This link I posted earlier relates to one company and a failed shareholder resolution on that subject. (Failed, but with a strong (71 million shareholders in favor of no slave labor on Lucent products) vote.) There is deniability built in, of course. As Karen points out, how often will you see a label reading "Torture Togs: Made by freezing, starving slaves." newstrolls.com The heading is: STOCKOWNERS OF LUCENT CORPORATION CAST STRONG VOTE TO CREATE ANTI-SLAVE LABOR POLICY FOR CHINA OPERATIONS; BOARD SAYS NO This link contains the observation that slave labor also "presents unfair competition to free labor in China and elsewhere, including the United States. " Nothing's perfect.
