Ensure ethical commerce by demanding safe conditions for foreign workers.

Created by C.H. on April 22, 2014

The U.S. Customs and Border Protection import regulations should be modified to require certification that foreign imports of manufactured goods produced ethically. This should include: 1) Safe working conditions - factories should be constructed according to first-world safety standards, & work weeks should be no more than 60 hours in duration. 2) Fair wages - foreign workers should be paid a living wage above the relative poverty line for their home country.
