"The Japanese company, with North American headquarters in Nashville, Tenn"

Firestone is owned by the Japanese? Good grief, isn't anything owned by Americans anymore?

As for the slavery charges, if they're true, the company should be boycotted.

Cooper Tires is American owned.

I doubt this would be company policy to use slave labor. I would think it is just the normal corruption by the locals that was just not noticed or passed up the chain of command. Liberia isn`t exactly the shining example of a country that puts human rights in the forfront.

But then, in the world today, you never know until you get the facts. But my bet it was a local, low level problem.
