#1 I would be so thrilled if Mr. Wife would cut back to mere 12-hour days. But then, he isn't working in a Third World piecework factory. It sounds like our Western factories at the end of the 19th century -- Company detectives beating newly organized workers bloody, socialist and communist labour leaders getting drunk on their own words, owners talking of "the natural order." I wonder how the wages and conditions mentioned compare to what the workers would have earned back home, and to what other Bahraini companies pay.

#2 Human rights activists expressed concern over the incident at MRS Fashions, which produces one of JC Penny brands

Connection to an American company = the only reason the HR wankers have an interest 'expressing concern' about it.
