After reading this article, would you still show respect for the big corporations in America?
http://twistyfaster.typepad.com/i_blame_the_patriarchy/2005/11/mexico_shouldnt.html


QUOTES:
"Now rich foreign companies can set up cheap-crap factories along the Mexican border, where they profit lavishly from local desperation. The factories are called maquiladoras. The workers, the majority of whom are women, are paid a laughable driblet of what the rich companies would have to pay fully human male Americans.

It will not surprise you to hear that the women maquilas, because they are members of the sex class, suffer at work the usual extra humiliation and violence associated with being female on this planet. Their male bosses **** with them. They get fired if they get pregnant. In Ciudad Juarez, for example, women are often murdered on the way to work, just for the hell of it. Their babies are born with lots of birth defects. That's because, owing to lax regulatory structures, the foreign-owned maquiladoras can dump their toxic waste right into the Mexican dirt......"
Additional Details
For those who don't believe in this article, do a google search on NAFTA, maquiladoras, Wal-Mart.

You will get tons of reliable news articles backing up this story.

What do you mean "still"?
That implies that I did, previously... and I didn't... :-)

I also don't believe everything I read, especially when it's as obviously slanted as the piece you quote....

These people who take these jobs are improving their lives. I know that seems amazing. Mexico is a corrupt nation, and that is not the fault of the corporations.

In fact, those corporations can do what foreign policy and border patrol cannot: they can provide financial incentive to the Mexican government to clean up their act, otherwise they will take their business and the resulting tax revenue to some other country.

Over time, you will see areas around these factories get a little better - as that factory creates jobs for workers who now don't have to be slave laborers to whatever drug lord has set up shop there. (Wonder why people get murdered on the way to work? It a rebellious act!) The people will have more control of their lives, and will have more money to spend freely.

Over time, the standard of living will improve, and as workers discover that they have more control, they will ask for better conditions and higher wages. And, since they are experienced, and can generate more than when they started a year or two ago, they will get it.

If this trend were to follow the way of China, eventually living standards would develop high enough that people would demand environmental quality as well (who cares about the toxic waste when you can barely eat! but if you are a little comfortable, you have time to care...)

These people are stuck in the 1820's, with no technology and no real modern way of survival. But you can't magically introduce them to the 21st century without growing through the process that the US and Europe did in the 1850's through 1950's, where things got dirty, then wealthy, then clean.

But the societies that made that full progression freely, are the cleanest, most enviornment and worker friendly nations. Isn't that the goal?

First, the article begins "...rich foreign companies," from which I gather, since the article is in American English, are not in America, and therefore big corporations in America have nothing to do with it.

Second, the article is clearly biased, reporting an emotional extreme. I spent several years as a journalist managing other journalists, and after reading and reviewing thousands of editorials I can tell you that this is not news but propoganda, intended to incite rather than inform.

Third, the article makes claims based solely on the authority of the author, who is never identified. I have no reason to believe it is true based on the evidence presented for consideration.

In answer to your question, after reading this article I would show as much respect for big corporations in America as I ever have. The contents of this text would not change my opinion of them in the slightest.
