Comments for Brazil Company Linked to the Clintons Has Hundreds of Slave-Like Workers at http://www.brazzilmag.com , comment 0 to 6 out of 6 comments http://www.brazzilmag.com Sun, 08 Nov 2009 19:38:31 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/9172/1/#pc_13572 "Slavery" in many guises exists in Brazil.Everyone knows this; it's a given. In rural Goiais, practically all farm workers are de facto enslaved. Pay is aften months in arrears, and employers provoke or fabricate dismissal to avoid back pay. Workers shift to other fazendas or sitios and the process is repeated. If you've been to rural Goiais -- Tocatins, or Mato Grosso -- you can't miss it. - Zingadoon Wed, 12 Mar 2008 20:25:38 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/9172/1/#pc_13553 WITH MORALITY LIKE THAT GIVE ME A DESPOT ANYDAY. A good despot that comes to my mind is "Emperor Bokasa" of the Central African Republic. I wonder if his empire and he are still alive. Lately I am not keeping track of what is happening in that part of Africa. - João da Silva Tue, 11 Mar 2008 21:26:55 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/9172/1/#pc_13546 If someone invests BRL 20'000.- into the listed company COSAN...... HOW CAN THE INVESTOR KNOWS THAT THE COMPANY USES SLAVES...OR NOT ?????????????????????? The only thing he knows is that the company....PROMISES.....there are none. Both in its internet site and in their quaterlay and annual report. Your accusation is typically Brazilian ! Why Lula and his 4000 thieves dont make public in what Brazilian or foreign company they invested their own money ???????????? Should all foreigners withdraw ALL their money from Brazil...to be sure this money is not tied to slave labor ????? Hmmmm....more idiot that the government of Brazil there is not ! Lets face it, Brazil does very little to reduce slavery. The people in charge say they dont know where the slaves are....and that anyway they dont have the necessary budget. PURE LIE. Just ask NGO local and foreign, local churches and they KNOW excatly where slaves are...but nothing is done. One can even look at hte many internet sites.....telling and showing excatly where slaves are !!!!!!!!!! What a bunch of crooks...these Brazilians ! Including Your Vice President Açucar (Alencar) who a year ago or so PUBLICLY AND LOUDLY said...there is NOOOOOO slavery in the sugarcane plantations !!!!!!!!! Pfuiiit ! - ch.c.
