:23:00
They break the timeframe into
ten thousandths of a second.
:23:04
You get to the bottom
of all 22 operations;
:23:06
they give the workers 6.6
minutes to make the shirt.
:23:09
It's $ 0.70 an hour
in the Dominican Republic.
:23:11
Thats 6.6 minutes
equals $ 0.08.
:23:14
These are Nikes documents.
:23:15
That means the wages come to
three tenths of one percent
:23:18
of the retail price.
:23:19
This is the reality.
:23:21
It's the science
of exploitation.
:23:35
What happens in the areas
where these corporations
:23:37
go in and are successful?
:23:38
They soon find that they cant
do anymore in that country
:23:44
because the wages
are too high now.
:23:47
And whats that another
way of saying
:23:48
well the people are
no longer desperate.
:23:50
So okay weve used up
all the desperate people there
:23:52
theyre all plump and
healthy and wealthy.
:23:55
Lets move on to the next
desperate lot and employ them
:23:59
and raise their level up.
:24:12
Well the whole idea of
the export processing zone
:24:14
is that it will be the
first step towards
:24:17
this wonderful
new development
:24:19
through the investment thats
attracted to these countries
:24:22
there will be
a trickle down effect
:24:24
into the communities.
:24:25
But because so many countries
are now in the game
:24:28
of creating these
free trade enclaves
:24:31
they have to keep providing
more and more incentives
:24:34
for companies to come to their
little denationalized pocket.
:24:39
And the tax holidays
get longer.
:24:42
So the workers rarely
make enough money
:24:44
to buy
three meals a days
:24:46
let alone feed
their local economy.
