Lol slave labour, isn't that the usual pay/work schedule of any unskilled labour in any 3rd world country?

So what's the actual problem with this exposé? We definitely agree that national wages need to be raised. Especially in the case of women like this who most likely support their families with their wages, or at the very least send a large portion of it home. We've personally seen the great conditions at these factories though, and MAS adheres to ILO and Garments Without Guilt mandates. However, Sri Lankan wages are notoriously low on the whole, with even highly qualified professionals (such as auditors or IT professionals) often getting paid as low as about Rs. 12,000 a month. It's cause for systemic policy change, but not cause for an international fuss and ringing the alarm with gleeful abandon.

Context : $185 dollars is not a livable wage in the UK, but it definitely is in rural Sri Lanka.
Citation : There is no source given for the article's stats. How does a one bedroom accommodation in factory boarding in rural Sri Lanka cost Rs. 30,000 per month? Why does Anti-Slavery UK think Rs. 43,000 is the basic livable wage required per person given our low cost of living? Salary.lk puts it at about Rs. 15,000 to Rs. 24,000 on average.
Sensationalism : It appears as though a lot of the article is just jumping on the social justice warrior bandwagon without keeping the actual welfare of the workers involved in mind. Also, slavery is probably not a term you want to play fast and loose with.
Ramifications: According to recent updates, MAS Intimates employs some 16,000 workers. Not all of these are on the Ivy Park contract, obviously. However, for most of the workers on the Ivy Park contract, this job is irreplaceable for them. If the boycott is successful, hundreds of young women will lose this, the only safe job opportunity they have, and international brands will start to refrain from choosing Sri Lanka as a production option in the future.
