We are the employees of a multinational corporation. Wondering if anyone is wanting/willing to organize anything?

I see the word organize and I'm already on board. companies do a lot of shitty things and we need to unite if we're going to stop it

Lol there's nothing that can be done. Child labour is so normalized for capitalism that it's not as simple as protesting or organizing.
You have to realize there are entire cultures and countries that rely on child labour because their economy is so poor. I believe in countries like China, India, and Mexico, it is not only normal but necessary for a child to pick up a job to help support the family.
This is a global problem that would need to begin with a country's economy. If you just take away child labour in some countries, you then take away a part of many families' incomes. Start at the root, not just what seems immoral to us (a Western civilization).
