GOP Sen. Hawley Introduces Anti-Slave-Labor Bill Aimed at China and ‘Woke’ Brands Like Nike and the NBA

China and American off-shoring corporations received a rude shock Monday morning when Senator Josh Hawley (R-Missouri) introduced legislation to hold American companies accountable for slave labor in their supply chains, largely in Communist mainland China.

Sen. Hawley s office says that The Slave-Free Business Certification Act increases corporate supply chain disclosure requirements, mandates regular audits, requires Chief Executive Officers to certify that their companies supply chains do not rely on forced, slave labor, and creates penalties for firms that fail basic minimum standards for human rights.
