Crayola

We've all had a jumbo box of Crayola crayons, right?

Or some colored pencils?

BUT......

Did you ever think of where they were made?

It was most likely made by a person, not a machine.

And that person might have been younger than you.

That person probably works hundreds of hours a week.

And has hours of unpaid over time.

That person makes only about $1.50 an hour

And works in awful conditons

They can't escape in a fire because the emergency doors are locked

And they can't leave the factory

They are shoved into uncomfortable, hot dorms

The doors of the dorms are unlocked so thieves get in easily

The cafeteria is unsanitary; rotten food and rats are all over the floor

They don't have long enough breaks

They can't report the manager or else they get beaten by the police... or worse

And they can't even quit.

So... do you still want to buy those crayons?

Even after you learned what happens in those corrupted factories?

Honestly, I would stop buying Crayola products manufactured in China.

Thanks for watching!
