Factory workers in American Samoa starved and beaten
New York Times reports a Labor Department finding that 300 workers at an American Samoa clothing plant making items for J.C. Penney and others were beaten and underfed. The facility closed in January after Penney halted sales last December and a supplier contract was canceled. The plant, owned by Daewoosa, employed mostly Vietnamese women paid under 3 dollars an hour.
