Cinfhen The author mentions Cambodia, Bangladesh and China @BarbaraBB so I‘ll decide once I finish the book 4y

Cinfhen What‘s your occupation @emilyhaldi ??!! 4y

emilyhaldi I work in retail sourcing/ production- I help the design team source materials and the right factory to produce the item, then negotiate cost & delivery. I most recently worked for Lane Bryant but lost my job after they filed bankruptcy this summer 😕 4y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa That does sound interesting. 4y

Cinfhen Sorry, Em...that sucks ☹️I‘m finding this book super informative @emilyhaldi and really insightful. Not sure how much would be new to you but for me it‘s all pretty shocking!!! Earning 10 cents an hour😳Working 16 hours a day??? And yet, for many this is a dream of betterment. I think this will be my #Bangladesh @Librarybelle @BarbaraBB / so happy I picked this up on #Scribd @Riveted_Reader_Melissa (edited) 4y

TrishB Bangladesh is also the country with most UN peacekeepers if you haven‘t done that prompt yet! 4y

This book is an interesting read. It really is. It raises an interesting argument, or a catch-22 really, of garment factories and I'd we should boycott to end the conditions they work in. On one hand, we boycott and it shuts down factories, making an end to sweatshop work conditions. On the other we boycott, and people who REALLY need the job to barely support their family loses that job. I'd be interested to.hear others take on it

lynneamch No simple answers, right? Seems like trade deals have to include human rights issues and verification of working conditions, etc. Not easy. 6y

wordzie Interesting. 😎 6y

Man I'm on a semi struggle bus with this book. The writing is honestly really good buy since its non fiction I feel like my mind is making it out to be like an assignment for school which is what is killing my reading buzz to get through it. I decided to take a hot bath with my lush bath bomb that @Bookcation74 got me and I'm going to hope i get through like 85% of it tonight.

Reviewsbylola I struggle with NF too. I typically prefer narrative non fiction or memoirs. Otherwise it‘s generally too dry. 6y

Reviewsbylola And yay for a lush bath bomb! 🙌🏻 6y

Callemarie @Reviewsbylola the author does a great job of adding his quirky personality Into the book but... I dont know. There are statistics and pictures that remind me of a text book and therefore it's just not clicking with me 6y

I've been quiet due to a killer sinus/cold/ something that seriously has kicked my butt all week and then of course my extremely low motivation to read this month. But I started this book today with the Hope's od finishing by tomorrow. Im hoping to at least finish this and the winter people by the end of the month.

TheBookgeekFrau Hope you're on the mend! 6y

wordzie 👍 6y

Crazeedi Get well soon! Sending healing vibes!! 6y

cobwebmoth Hope you're feeling better soon! 6y

britt_brooke Feel better soon! I first read that as “serial killer sinus.” 😆 If you‘ve had my luck, it probably feels that way. Seems like I‘ve been fighting something all winter. So annoying. 6y

Callemarie Hahaha @britt_brooke I could definitely compare it to a serial killer. I also have a low tolerance for pain so I've been a big baby all week. 6y

SW-T Hope you feel better soon! 6y

Sharpeipup Feel better! 6y

dragondrool Feel better! 6y
