Acme Paperclips -- Offices in the United States and Uganda
[ send me this paper ]
This
7 page report discusses the fact that working conditions for
people in the United States and people in Africa are literally
and figuratively a world apart. Not only are the workers of
Uganda most familiar with agricultural work and agricultural
related production (the countries leading export is coffee), they
are generally unaware that their government has or should have
any obligation in terms of providing them with a safe working
environment. Using the example of the fictious “Acme Paperclip”
company, issues of worker safety and protection are discussed.
