What is the responsibility of American companies and consumers for unsafe working conditions in Chinese factories?
Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, muscle cramps, convulsions, shock, kidney failure- all in a days work. These are the effects of cadmium exposure according to the US Department of Labor, and Chinese workers making common batteries routinely suffer from it. Just one example of unsafe working conditions is Chinese factories. A hundred years ago American workers had very few protections and rights. Factory conditions were atrocious and death and disease were common.
