Labour abuses is a problem where I don't think we are doing as much as we can, I think this is clearly something that should be discussed more and changed. The laws against labour abuse should be re-looked at and changed making them more severe so that those who abuse it get the point to stop.

The biggest fight in any service industry is corruption.its no longer an issue of offering a service,but in everything that is done,something must be taken out.
labor laws are not ignored,the people to implement and act on issues have simply lost the vision or understanding.
in a case were an employee reports abuse,the risks of loosing a job are high as a CEO/employer will protect himself by putting incentives to benefit the labor authorities,
One of the main objectives is to have make sure all contracts are specific and give the affected a better option.

On Labor Abuses
Naturally, Laws that recognize such abuses and allow for economic and criminal sanctions are the first and most important steps.
Independent Monitoring, through formalized inspection procedures and practices would then follow just as importantly, if not more.
But since these depend strongly on each countries political and governmental will. The most urgent measure might be to develop a global financial accounting framework that would factor in par with human rights accountability practices.
In other words, employers ought to have as much responsibility (if not more) in demonstrating human rights compliance as they do with financial ones.

The best way is that people have to buy a mini camera which can attach in watch, favourite or something like that. I don't know if we can have it but I have an ideal to produce it in the future.
Laws are laws. Law is fair but people makes law become closer to life is another problems. Besides everything must be clear with boss, I would like to learn some sports as taekwondo, Judo to defend in some "abnormal cases
"

The best way is to have a set of strict law. The reason why the US has very few labor abuse case is that it has very strict laws. At first, the Fourteenth Amendments in the Constitution does not allow that. Before the establishment of laws, you need a group of people who believe in democracy and human rights.

Do not believe it my friend. The USA has its fair share of illegal sweat shops where immigrant workers are abused, often by their own wealthier countrymen.
Then the big corporations move their production abroad where the labour laws are more lax.
Just look at the recent troubles with jeans for Levi and Gap.
Every country has its nasty little secrets and we need to bring light onto the situations in the different countries. Yes, stringent labour laws will help but people power, where the public boycott products and write to the company is probably the most effective weapon as these scum nedd to hit in the pocket. It is the only thing they understand.
