Firestone & Child Labor in Liberia

This video features interviews with two child laborers on a rubber plantation in Liberia operated by the Firestone tire company. Workers have to meet a daily production quota which is too high for one person to achieve or their low wages are halved. As a result, workers are forced to bring their children to work.

For more information about Firestone and to get involved in the campaign, please visit www.StopFirestone.org.

This video was produced by a Liberian organization called the Save My Future Foundation in conjunction with their report on conditions on the Firestone plantation.
