Labor trafficking is a practice that is on the rise globally. Labor trafficking involves coercing both children and adults into forced and hard labor. Surprisingly, most of the goods and products we use on daily basis may have been produced through forced labor. For instance, the use of cell phone, chocolate, and sugar are top in my normal life. However, I decided to forgo the use of these items for five days consecutively. It was not easy to cope with normal life without the use of a cell phone, chocolate, and sugar. The use of these three items has been my culture from a very early age of my life. Therefore, spending five days without touching a cell phone, buying chocolate dessert, and making sugary drinks was very challenging and tempting.
Measures to mitigate unfair labor practices should be implemented to track and stop persons who practice them. One of the measures that should be taken to end labor trafficking is enacting laws that prevent the U.S from importing products that are as a result of forced labor (Kiss & Zimmerman, 2019). For instance, the United States government should ensure that imported cell phones, chocolate and chocolate products, and sugar and sugary products are not as a result of unfair labor practices. Another measure that should be taken to end labor trafficking is establishing immigration protocols to interview all immigrants and help them identify with the relevant immigration departments to avoid being exploited (Kiss & Zimmerman, 2019). Immigrants are the main victims of unfair labor practices but when they are directed to immigration departments mandated to take care of them, then human exploitation will end in the U.S. Offering general publication on purchasing authentic goods and products is another way of minimizing unfair labor practices. An informed public will be able to pressure manufacturing companies to employ fair labor practices.
