This should be posted at every store that sells Huffy bikes:

19 hour work days. Illegal fines. Mandatory uncompensated overtime. No labor representation. Sound
like something you want to support?
As this article points out, the ~25 cents per hour that workers make producing Huffy bikes is a
slave wage. They can't live on it, or raise families or lead normal lives. They can only exist to
serve the factory, and that's just about all they do. These poor workers are being exploited
terribly so we can have cheap bikes to ride around the suburbs or campus and toss in the trash when
they break in a year or two.
When you buy a Huffy, you're saying "it's OK to exploit Chinese workers and put thousands of US
workers out of their jobs."
