Sears/Kmart overseas labor practices: Like!

In this article I discovered from Business Insider, apparently, over the years, Chinese who have been forced into labor camps where such things as Halloween decorations are made, have been secretly stashing letters begging for help into boxes of those products.  Subsisting on around $1.50/month and miserable living conditions some of these "criminals of the state" have managed to squirrel away letters of despair and tragedy.  Reading the story I suppose, considering what you think or know about China, one might shrug their shoulders or be horrified.  I was a little of both.  However, what really caught my eye was at the end of the article.  Sears Holdings, owner of Kmart, apparently did an internal investigation and when asked by The New York Times to comment on the investigation, informed the Times that there was "no violations of company rules that bar the use of forced labor."  In the words of the Church Lady, "Isn't that special?"
