I'm just an average person and don't have any clue as to how you are supposed to fix things like this but I do know that what your suggesting isn't gonna work.

      @@NEILANIL1 this is a tough problem because consumers really do not care. Consumers care only about the price and convenience. Consumers do not care even about their local community or Big box stores like Walmart would not have wiped out local stores. Asking consumers to care about workers in a far off land is an almost lost cause.
      Even asking for workers in a country to organize would not work as international buyers will just buy from a country with lower prices.

    I think this is the case with every other crop in the world. Developed countries setup developing countries on a systemic poverty cycle. But videos like this may not help break that. What happens is we start consuming ethically and the broken plates are paid by those that had a poverty wage and now they will not even get one because the production chain passed on the extra loss to the bottom of the totem pole, the worker.

    Do not mix up the word 'cashew' and 'cashew nuts'. One thing is one thing and another thing is another thing. The cashew is the fruit that grows on the tree and the cashew nut is the seed of that fruit that grows, differently from other seeds, outside of the fruit. You can handle a fresh from the tree cashew fruit naturally by the nut and eat the fruit and discard it, the nut. The only way the nut can burn your skin is if you expose the interior of it and touch your body, what takes a concient maneuver since the outside of that nut is very hard to expose. When we were kids we would hold this seed, ground it up until expose some interior part of it, then we would touch our skin making forms or letters. Next day it would be a burn like a liquid filled burn on the format of the pattern we tried to draw. In days it would be healed but the dark mark would be there for years to come. In the sixties that was our kid's groups tatto! Cheers from Brasil!

    The countries in question really need labor movements to demand worker protections--clearly the companies have a lot to lose, so a strike would be impactful. I don't know what it would take in their domestic politics to enable the people to strike, but with a global supply chain, consumer selection only has a limited amount of power.
