Working Conditions
Haitians are the region's lowest paid, earning sub-poverty wages for those lucky enough to have jobs with no rights afforded them with regard to health, safety and other workplace conditions.
A Final Comment
Overall, the State Department's report reveals disturbing civil and human rights violations, despite understating them. As a result, ordinary Haitians are at risk in a nation spurning democracy because Washington and local oligarchs won't tolerate it.
At least for the next five years, expect no change under Martelly, America's selected stooge in Port-au-Prince.
