job creation

Very poor people can indeed be delighted when what we call a sweatshop comes to town ...but they would be even more delighted if it paid them better wages, didn't rape and fondle the female workers, didn't spray them with toxics, etc...

When workers are weak, it is indeed true that cutting labor standards can get more factories built, but by that Times/Davos/Burma-junta logic of job creation you should also abolish the minimum wage, permit prostitution, even permit human bondage/ slavery, since each of those steps would indeed -- under weak-worker conditions -- induce the creation of new jobs.
