"I believe that spiritual maturity is not the ability to see the extraordinary, but the ability to see the ordinary through God's eyes. Consequently, no matter how wonderful our experience or encounter is with God, the test of it's worth is in the fruit it bears in our lives and the lives of others. " - Frank Viola

How are these employees treated? These employees are far from being paid well. They DO NOT even get paid enough to survive on. They also do not get the right to form unions and do not get any benefits. *These people are basically slaves, they are scared into staying, they are paid very, very low wages or nothing at all, and are denied basic benefits and worker's rights(in some cases human rights too).*
How do we fight this form of slavery?
Simply by not financially supporting companies and organizations that use sweat shops and slave labor to produce their products.
Help to stand against this terrible act on our neighbors, support agencies trying to free these people, and support companies who sell products made by freed victims (www.madebysurvivors.com)
