Thanks andrew.

Sweatshop Labor

[horriblyjollyjinx]

"Mr. Shaanika and the other young men [in Namibia] noted that the construction jobs were dangerous and arduous, and that they would vastly prefer steady jobs in, yes, sweatshops. Sure, sweatshop work is tedious, grueling and sometimes dangerous. But over all, sewing clothes is considerably less dangerous or arduous — or sweaty — than most alternatives in poor countries. [...]

Some of those who campaign against sweatshops respond to my arguments by noting that they aren´t against factories in Africa, but only demand a ´living wage´ in them. After all, if labor costs amount to only $1 per shirt, then doubling wages would barely make a difference in the final cost.

One problem — as the closure of the Namibian factories suggests — is that it already isn´t profitable to pay respectable salaries, and so any pressure to raise them becomes one more reason to avoid Africa altogether. Moreover, when Western companies do pay above-market wages, in places like Cambodia, local managers extort huge bribes in exchange for jobs. So the workers themselves don´t get the benefit."

- Nicholas D Kristof, once a convinced opponent of sweatshops, in New York Times. (Thanks Gunilla)

I think he's being ironic.

Or absurdly blatant about his business practices. Either way, since there doesn't appear to be any product on the site, I don't really care to have any stickers.
