Behringer smear campaign ?
I received this bizzarre email on a list today. Sound like somebody has
been listening to Faux News too much ! geoff *********** snip ************* I heard recently that Behringer gear is made in China by Political prisoners - no shortage of those in a highly populated, highly controlled country. It explains why their units are so cheap. The difference is, if the prisoners refuse to work (for no wages) they are shot! |

Everyone knows the prisoners are children, stolen from their families. And they are starved first, then beaten, and then shot. And then forced to work some more. Steve |

Perhaps they could get student DJ's to make these units on their night off. and if they refuse to work give em a night on the other side of their SKYTEC rig as punishment. Which reminds me. I use l'acoustic Gear powered with their LA48 amps. Had a student DJ refuse to use my `****` gear a few weeks ago. He was going to use his own rig. Needless to say his 125watts a side of SKYTEC did a cracking job of filling the 700seat venue. Still what do i know. He had got his setup exactly how he liked it so didn't want to have to alter anything for another rig. Rob |

LOL lots of iso 9002 companys running on slave labor this rumor belongs in the trash like so much other "lets trash Behringer" rant that pop up George There are really only two reasons slave labor is used: 1. Lack of sufficient labor in your local area to produce what you are trying to make or grow....stuff like the pyramids and the pre-civil war US plantation system are examples of this. 2. Retribution or punishment to a group of people Ever since the industrial revolution, it's not made a lot of sense to use slave labor, it tends to be less than motivated and you have the feeding/housing/clothing costs associated with that. Many historians have suggested that mechanized agriculuture would have put an end to slavery in the US, because it was cheaper. So in the case of CHINA, they have a labor SURPLUS, tons of people and not enough jobs (although I hear some localities are seeing labor shortages). While there probably is slave labor in China, it's for category 2, punishment of political prisoners...that doesn't make it right but I seriously doubt these guys and girls are working at the Behringer factory. Given how highly automated many of the Chinese factories are, it makes even less sense for them to use slave labor for high tech goods, cheaper to buy machines than to feed, clothe and house people who are not gonna work as hard because they are not paid and treated badly. A whole other issue would be the fact that with their labor surplus, many workers are paid a sub-living wage, but that is starting to happen right here in the good ole US of A. Ironically the Walmart worker that needs a 2nd job to make ends meet is selling the cut price stuff the poor chinese guy/gal is making for next to nothing. Ain't capitalism grand? Analogeezer |
