Wal-Mart operates over 1,000 "secret" factories in China. One of these, a
factory in Lungcheong, requires its workers to work 13 hour days, six to
seven days a week, for as little as 18-33 cents an hour — well below the
already abysmal Chinese minimum wage.
....
the Communist Chinese government is complicit in the human rights violations
that occur on a regular basis at these factories, as they allow Wal-Mart to
circumvent Chinese law.

Wal-Mart’s ties with Communist China

the Communist Chinese government helps to keep these factories from the
public eyes, and away from proper scrutiny.

Even at 13 hours seven days a week that's only 91 hours a week. My last job
worked that much or more. My friend who owns a restaurant works 115 hours a
week. He will close for Christmas eve and Christmas day. That will be a nice
break for him so he can see his kids.

Merry Christmas everyone! God Bless America!

I'm as anti-Wal-Mart as they come, but I do remember seeing a photo
review of the Degen factory on radiointel.com, and things looked pretty
good. I just checked on the website and can't seem to come accross it
for a link. From what I remember of it, the working conditions looked
very good.
