[RC] Are you aware? - Dot Wiggins

The AERC patches, rider milage chevrons, horse milage medallions, etc. are
made in China and Taiwan.

I seem to recall a lot of controversy about working conditions, very young
children working long hours, starvation pay, etc. in several countries.
Don't know if this is still happening, but maybe we should research where
AERC is spending our money.
Are children in "slave labor" factories any less in need of protection than
camel jockeys?

I'm not in favor of buying overseas what can be had in the US.  (Where are
all the year end awards being purchased?)
JMHO
