The definition will vary depending on the country. If India( for argument sake) is paying workers horrible and with horrible working conditions and then GM comes along and offers better pay and conditions is it still bad? If those conditions and pay that GM is offering to the india people is $3/day and a celing fan, it may be shitty for us, we may consider that a sweatshop, but the people of india may think that’s the best job in the world. Who gives a flying fuck what their working conditions are? The fact is that labor in Indonesia or China or wherever is pennies on the dollar compared to there in the US. American workers will never be able to compete with that. American companies can’t stay competitive. That is one of the big reasons why we are so fucked right now. America doesn’t produce anything anymore. We just consume. > That is what is crazy about this whole thing. How can GM still continue with the same people that ran it into the ground? Since the gov is now in control, the first thing that should be done is removal of all upper management. Emotionally, that is the way to react. However, you can’t just fire all of the management of a multi-billion dollar international corporation with one swing of the sword. Who the fuck is going to run it? :ugh2: --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/its-a-cold-day-in-hell/202888)._
