Tell us what you really think

This statement is the best description of how much corporations value human rights.

Tom Donahue, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, said that workers' rights should never be included in trade agreements.

"Had the administration accepted the petition, there would have been a number of negative consequences." Mr. Donahue said. "We would have married forever human rights and trade, and that would have been a huge mistake."

God forbid we don't trade with nations who harbor honorable things like sweatshops. Hey Tom, seeing that you're not so huge on all that human rights bullshit, do you think we should bring back slavery, too?

Unfuckingbelievable.
