No we should boycott them and use economic sanctions against them as slavery and the exploitation of human beings is much more of a threat than someone developing nucular energy

I believe that it is wrong to employ slave labor. But everyone out there knows that businesses always go for the thing that is cheapest. They will not be OK paying someone $5.15 per hour, if you can get that same exact product done for a least half that. I think that we can dream about a world without slave labor, but you know it is only a dream

Capitalism isn't about competing on a fair and even playing field and ringfencing it - and not letting others in.
It is about choice. The developing world needs to work (to develope). If we say we are stopping trading with such and such country because of it's employment practices - we are harming the whole future development of that country.
It is best to boycott companies rather than countries.

The U.S. Government and American Employers are one of the biggest Purveyors of Slave Labor in the United States of America and Overseas!!! They have kept sixteen(16*)+ million American Workers in POVERTY since 1997 !! How much longer are these workers going to be enslaved by the U.S. Government and American Employers before they are paid a fair and equitable living wage?????

Trade with countries that use slave labour? The US *IS* one of the countries that employs slave labour (which includes underpaid, abusive and hazardous working conditions).
Illegal immigrants, US "commonwealth" islands, prisoners forced to work for no pay, etc. Rick "Rectum" Santorum took $10000 from scumbag company owners in Saipan to help protect them from US laws which would ensure fair wages and conditions for employees.

No, we sould not, and we should also demand that countries that trade with us have a government-mandated living wage. We have the political and economic power to make a difference in the world; let's not be afraid ito use it.

It is apparent through illegal immigrant workers that some in the USA enjoys slave labor. They do what Americans won't do... (for unfair wages).

nope its wrong and though it may save the buyer a couple bucks i'd rather see my money in the hands of a poor working man than the offshore bank account of some corrupt ceo.
