Then these son-of-bitches CEOs might actually have to move their operations elsewhere.
But what happens when Indians, Africans, and everybody else on the planet get fucking pissed off and want a bigger share of the economic pie?
Did they think the gravy train of exploiting workers overseas and killing off jobs in the United States was going to last?
Supporters of the law say the U.S. companies are not taking full responsibility for how their business practices allegedly contribute to worker exploitation.
Liu Cheng, a Shanghai legal scholar who advised the government on the draft proposal, says the pressure U.S. companies exert on their Chinese suppliers to cut costs leads to labor abuse. "After so many years of the multinationals dominating, things are getting worse," says Cheng.
Chinese workers have staged tens of thousands of strikes and protests over the past few years, expressing discontent over poor working conditions and low and unpaid wages. Cheng says that the new law is a modest step toward addressing rising worker unrest and ensuring social stability. "It's reasonable and rational for companies to want to make money, but there has to be balance," says Cheng.
I hope the workers tell corporate America where to shove it.
