That in itself is a crime. And when they do know, as Jeff has so clearly outlined here, it is outrageous that we consumers let them get away with it. Someone, sometime, has to care that slavery is alive and well today – and many of us are financing it just as surely as if we were buying a human right off the block.

Then when the secret is out †hey scurry around like rats trying to look like they are doing something.

And yes, they ring hollow to ME because I don’t quite believe them… my experiences inside very large organizations at top levels of management are what give me that feeling. And it is MY feeling.

This is the perfect example, because they are a company that projects “American” values. I hope, with all hope, that THIS TIME, they follow through and truly do police their Indian factories. History tells me they will, for a time, and then profits and then need to please their investors will take over…. unless WE are vigilant!

So, to summarize, even when a company does the right thing, or at least attempts to, their actions cant be taken seriously, because YOU dont quite believe them?
At least give a solid reason why their ‘actions ring hollow’.

Not to say that this isnt a big issue that needs to be faced, but Im sure a better example could have been found than the company that, according to you, acts quickly and does not stand for child labour.
