Letters and media publicity are forcing changes in the Magic Kingdom, as Disney is beginning to clean up its act in Third World countries. Disney subcontractors have been exposed producing clothing at 30 cents an hour in Haiti, using child labor for toy production in Indonesia and exploiting terrible conditions in China. The National Labor Committee is actively exposing Disney's activities around the world. Letters and demonstrations against Disney in December 1996 resulted in Disney ending production in military-ruled Burma.
To work toward ending the exploitation of women, children and Third World workers for Disney profit, contact the National Labor Committee, 275 7th Ave., New York NY 10001; 212-242-3002. Letters to Disney encouraging them to maintain decent human rights should go to: CEO Michael Eisner, Walt Disney Company, Buena Vista St, Burbank CA 91521.
