:19:02
It's a little
bit dishevelled.

:19:06
These are all from
different campaigns.

:19:09
To make this stuff
concrete as possible

:19:13
we purchased all of
the products from the factories

:19:16
that we're talking about.
:19:17
This shirt sells
for $ 14.99.

:19:21
And the women who made
this shirt got paid $ 0.03.

:19:25
Liz Claiborne jackets
made in El Salvador

:19:28
The jackets are $ 178
:19:30
and the workers were
paid $ 0.74

:19:32
for every jacket they made.
:19:34
Alpine car stereos
$ 0.31 an hour.

:19:37
It's not just sneakers.
:19:38
It's not just apparel.
:19:39
It's everything.
:19:44
We were in Honduras
:19:47
and some workers they knew
what kind of work we did

:19:50
and they approached
us and said

:19:52
conditions in our
factory are horrible.

:19:55
Will you please
meet with us.

:19:56
And we said we would.
:19:57
But you cant meet in
the developing world

:20:00
you cant walk up in
a factory with your notebook

:20:02
and workers come
up and interview them.

:20:04
I mean there's
goons there’s spies

:20:05
the military police
:20:06
so you do everything
in a clandestine manner.

:20:09
We are about
to start the meeting

:20:10
and in walk three guys
:20:12
very tough looking guys.
:20:14
The company had found
out about our meeting

:20:16
and sent these spies.
:20:17
Obviously we didn’t
have the meeting.

:20:19
But these young girls
were really bright

:20:21
And as they
were leaving

:20:23
away from the eyesight
of the spies

:20:24
they started to put their hands
underneath the table.

:20:26
And I put my hand
under there

:20:28
and they put into my hand
their pay stubs.

:20:30
So wed know
who they were

:20:34
what they were paid
:20:35
and the labels that
they made in the factory

:20:37
so wed know who
they worked for.

:20:39
So I took my hand
after everyone had left.

:20:41
And in the palm
of my hand

:20:43
was the face was of
Kathy Lee Gifford

:20:45
And on the bottom
of it was

:20:47
A portion of the proceeds
from the sale of this garment

:20:50
would be donated to various
children’s charities.

:20:52
Very touching
gets you right here.

:20:55
Wal-Mart is telling you
if you purchase these pants

:20:57
and Kathy Lee
is telling you

:20:59
if you purchase
these pants
