I was outraged after viewing the film of women working in Haiti at the Disney factory. Working conditions were horrible being that the women where there for eight hours on top of working where it was one hundred degrees inside the factory all for $2.40 American currency. Workers at the Mickey Mouse factory were stunned that the shirts that they made at the factory were being sold in America for $13 American dollars. Also in the short film "Maquilaopolis" women described working in harsh environments as well. One lady stated that they were exposed to all kinds of chemicals while working at the factory not to mention that they would go home everyday with their cloths reeking smelling like burnt plastic to say the lease. We as Americans i feel have the power to improve the working conditions for women in other countries. This is depressing and inhabitable to make a living working in these types of environments and hardly making any money to support their families. This is sad.
