Slave labor in America

In his gripping investigative book Nobodies: Modern American Slave Labor and the Dark Side of the New Global Economy, John Bowe tells the story of workers who are literally or virtually enslaved to fatten the profits of dozens of American food and clothing chains, including Wal-Mart, McDonald's, Burger King, PepsiCo, Gap, Polo Ralph Lauren, and others. In this excerpt, he outlines the shocking facts about migrant farm workers.
