Smell the Glove

Milwaukee Tool reeks of forced Chinese labor, lawsuit alleges

“There is something about this, that's so black. It's like, ‘How much more black could this be?’ And the answer is: ‘None, none ... more black.’" – Nigel Tufnel, a fictional character in the 1984 mockumentary film, “This Is Spinal Tap.”

Communist China jails dissidents for “subversion of state power,” sticks them in prison factories, and tortures them if they don’t make production quotas.

One of the many fruits from this forced labor is a sturdy pair work gloves from Milwaukee Tool, according to a lawsuit filed last week. The company denies the allegations, and it says it has found no evidence of force labor in its supply chain, but it has also said that it has terminated its relationship with the accused supplier.

This would be capitalism exploiting communist oppression. Speak out against the Chinese government, and you could end up slaving for American consumers.

If these allegations prove true, this glove stinks.
