Time Warner Exploits Child Labor in Mexico

“A group of young, mostly female workers in Hidalgo, Mexico, some as young as 13 years-old, who have made Harry Potter and other Halloween costumes with Warner Brother logos, have been illegally locked out for protesting child labor violations, unsafe and unjust working conditions, and the company’s refusal to recognize their collective bargaining agreement. Time Warner, the world’s largest media conglomerate, through its subsidiary Warner Brothers, has given worldwide rights to all Warner Brothers properties to Rubie’s Costume Company of New York City, the world’s largest costume company, to produce Halloween costumes such as “Harry Potter”, “Star Wars” and “Lord of the Rings”. Rubie’s exports the Warner Brothers brand costumes to North America and Western Europe. “
