76. They only have no choice because...
their government get these "sweet deals" where the local economy and whatever jobs they could provide are destroyed. This opens up a market for exploitation for whoever moves into these countries. Then they set up shop, using either hired goons or local "law" enforcement they make sure the locals don't violate "company policy" which can include among other things, not leaving the factory before "clock out time", no bathroom breaks, no sex, and absolutely no dissent. They are forbidden from forming unions, they cannot complain to authorities, because they are bought and paid for by these companies. They work anywhere from 12-16 hours a day for pennies an hour. In the worse cases some are even chained to their machines. You call that progress, I call it slavery by proxy.
