BAGHDAD, 9 May (IRIN) - Eleven-year-old Mahmoud al-Obaidi walks seven km every morning to get to work at a carpentry factory in Baghdad so he can save his bus fares.

Al-Obaidi is the only male in his family of four, as his father disappeared five years ago and he works to support his family. On average he spends nearly 10 hours a day in the factory earning a living.

"I didn't have a choice. Work was the only option. I cannot deny that I would like to be at a school, learning like other children. But I know the responsibility that I have to carry," al-Obaidi told IRIN, as he walked to work.

He boy is only one of thousands of Iraqi children forced by poverty to work at an early age.


Makes you wonder, see Delay, Hightower, U$ Territory, etc.

1. What's the connection between this and UAL? n/t

[burrowowl]

2. Screwing labor

UAL is also trying to outsource maintenance to other countries.
Many are posting on other links, that strikes inconvienence them and they shouldn't do it.
Just trying to show that U$ofA Corporate/Fascism is alive and well and many Americans swallow it.
