Send the full report - all 65 pages.

Be aware this report only briefly covers two specific overseas operating areas and only mentions the USA.

There is much more to be found in certain specific overseas locations.

Our OEMs and their people are being defeated by labor exploitation pure and simple.

Labor at 2.87$ per hour for 75 hours a week is tough to beat.

Throw in the UNLEVEL PLAYING FIELD and all the rest - its amazing we even still have anything left.

Notice that all the propaganda we've been sold for 40 ****ing years explaining why Toyota and Japan INC. are successful is wrong because it left all this kind of stuff out and fails to account for its effects.

The State of California and the United States Federal Goverment have laws against overseas sweatshop product coming into their respective territories.

Same concerning production involved with human trafficking activity and labor.

The definitions have been met.

I don't know how any women in the world could possibly even consider a Toyota product much less buy one.
