Or "plunder into philanthropy"?
Clinton Family Foundation "facilitates" spending millions of disaster relief dollars in Haiti on luxury, 5 star hotel and 5 industrial parks for the likes of Wal Mart to employ blacks for $4.35 a day. Meanwhile several hundred thousand Haitians are still living in squalor with no running water, no sewers, no electricity.
As Heller wrote, anybody could do it; it merely requires no character.
JC Penny & WalMart profiteering off workers clearing $1.36 per DAY
HGW interviewed 15 workers, men and women, employed at the South Korean factory employing most of the PICs workers. This assembly factory S & H Global is a subsidiary of SAE-A Trading. It puts together clothing for some of the biggest US-based companies, including JC Penny and WalMart.
All of the workers most of them women, as in assembly factories the world over confirmed that they received the minimum wage of 200 gourdes (US$4.75) per day. Among the workers questioned, 11 said that they spent on average 61 gourdes on transportation each day, and another 82 gourdes on the midday meal and a drink. That left only 57 gourdes or about US$1.36, for all the additional expenses: water, electricity, food for the family, clothing, school fees, etc.
I cant live on this salary. It doesnt do anything for me, Annette* told HGW.
Before the PIC, this mother of ten worked at the CODEVI industrial park in Ouanaminthe. She lives near the border town and gets up early every day to come to the PIC. Annette left her job for the new position in the hope that conditions would be better, she said. She was wrong.
What I found is not worth if, she explained, but she doesnt know what else to do. Annette is in the same position as the thousands of Haitians who agree to work for a 200-gourde daily salary.
