And the US military. I was studying the supply manual (not for fun, a large portion of our promotions are based on a test we take once a year), and saw there was a hierarchy for ordering. Most of our stuff is from Skilcraft ("Made with pride by people who are blind") and thought that was our preferred source. Nope! Our first source we have to try to order from is Unicor. So I looked up Unicor, and it's prison labor.
So our first focus is buying cheap products from slave labor lining the pockets of truly awful business people. The secondary choice is one that helps blind people. Way to show priorities, right?
I'm sure that you're right, but I would love to have a list of references for this. Where do you find credible information on the labor sources of these companies?
They should mandate a "made with
prisonslave labor " label...But then we wouldn't have enough budget to allocate to our campaign donations.

Instead if made with slave labor labels
This PAC and or politician received donations from slave labor using companies and a list.
