They are among more than 100,000 college students who come to the United States each year on J-1 visas, which supply resorts and other businesses with cheap seasonal labor as part of a program aimed at fostering cultural understanding.
An Associated Press investigation published in December found students forced to work in strip clubs instead of restaurants, others taking home $1 an hour or less, some living in crowded apartments or eating on floors
If they are unhappy they can go home.

-Is my conscience your conscience and yours mine?

-Should everyone here be forced to buy Seventh Generation products because I believe they are environmentally superb to others and locally produced products?

-Well really I wish I did have stock in those companies so I could sell now and make a bundle. This type of news only makes stocks go up. It was Mike who said I had stock in Hershey, not me.
-I have been to Hershey PA though so feel free to crucify me on that point if you wish.

-I still haven't heard what brand of coffee you people drink.

I knew you were using Hershey chocolate bars as a figure of speech...kind of accusing you of purchasing that stock in play...

Did you know that stuff was going on before you mentioned it to me...

America’s Sweatshop Diplomacy

By JENNIFER GORDON

ACCORDING to the State Department, the J-1 visa Summer Work Study program, which allows foreign students to work in the United States for a few months, is meant to promote “lasting and meaningful relationships” between the students and Americans.

Try telling that to the more than 300 J-1 holders who went on strike at a Hershey’s distribution plant in Pennsylvania last week, with the support of the National Guestworker Alliance. These engineering majors and future lawyers from places like Turkey, Moldova and China came hoping to travel and speak English, but spent the summer packing and lifting heavy pallets of Kit-Kats, often on overnight shifts and for meager pay.

The America that the Hershey’s workers have seen is surely not the one the J-1 visa was created to promote. But perhaps it is the America we have become. Hershey’s business strategy is a microcosm of the downsizing and subcontracting that so many American companies have pursued during the past few decades in search of ever cheaper labor....
