Working Conditions
I wasn't too shocked about the conditions and pay in foreign factories. I had previously read articles about it and was saddened then and still am today. What shocked me about the "Mickey Mouse Goes to Haiti" video is how little the workers were paid. Disney can quite obviously pay their workers more than they do. The workers say that 58 cents an hour would be enough to support their families. 58 cents an hour!!! I spend more on a pack of gum! I am curious to know if Disney is still treating their workers poorly in the year 2012. I hope Disney has improved its business practices but I highly doubt it, all they care about is profit.

Sonja,
ReplyDeleteI agree 58 cents an hour is a ridiculous salary to pay someone. I would have hoped Disney would have paid their workers better than that since they charge people an arm and a leg to go to Disney World. It's so sad to know a company who has captured many hearts with Mickey Mouse can treat people so poorly just for a profit. Great post!!
