RadioActive: \r\n Moving US Jobs to Chinese Sweatshops
\r\n <\/b>March 14, 2002<\/p>\r\n
700 Maine shoe workers have recently lost their jobs. <\/p>\r\n
Bjorn Clausen of the Bangor \r\n Clean Clothes Campaign talks about how those jobs have been moved to China. \r\n Chinese shoe workers only make about 3% of what former workers in Maine once \r\n earned.<\/p>\r\n
Also discussed are efforts to expose where and under what conditions our clothes \r\n are made.<\/p>\r\n
