Below is a brief video regarding the history of wage and employment struggle in Cambodia. More and more people are starting to recognize that, in several developing countries, many multinational corporations are exploiting their workers. Despite the fact that these corporations make billions of dollars, and could easily provide more pay, benefits, and decent working conditions, they choose not to.
When there are protests, the corporations are always protected. We live in a system of exploitation and we continue to fuel these corporations (mostly North American based) by working for them, buying their products, and turning a blind eye to how their products are manufactured and delivered to us. We’ve become so dependent on them that we’ve stopped questioning and caring about the process these products go through to be made. It’s quite horrifying if you think about it. How can we allow something like this to continue? It’s like watching someone suffer or be tortured but continuing on with your day, and we are all guilty of it.
We see big athletes and celebrities represent them and we see the corporations denying their involvement in any type of exploitation, despite the fact that this type of thing has continued for years and is well-documented.
