DB # 15: City of Maquilias
Women a work place. The video in Mexico and Haiti have the same message, in fact it is the the same work condition where Capitalism operates around the world. why factories are not willing to improve work place condition and pay dissent wage for their employees ? The answer is Maximize profit. under capitalism, maximizing profit is the main plat form of operation. in developed countries, labour union and human right organization forced factories to accept conditions such as pay workers living wage, safety at work place, limited numbers of working hour etc... In developing countries, because of their poverty and a their large number of unemployment, they are the target of exploitation by factory owners. Specially women suffer from this in human working condition. women working in in chemical infested work environment while they are pregnant have effect on their pregnancy as well as the fetus. women also suffer the most because of their role in the house hold. Cooking meal, cleaning the house and take care of the children are some of the examples. What is the solution? Workers must organize globally the fight back for their right. advocacy group in developed countries champaign to educate people and lobbying congress to regulate companies who practice child labour, women unsafe working conditions.
