Hm, this sounds tough then. So what would be a more viable mode of action? What do people currently do to work on improving these labor conditions?
I'll admit my first thought was "I'm just never going to buy these toys for so-and-so ever!", but unsurprisingly it's more complex than that.
If we spend more money on foreign-made goods, we provide more demand for their labor, and effectively increase the available labor options for foreigners, which improves their labor conditions.
