Warwick fact finding thread.

Sign in to disble this ad
For those who want to discuss years-old unproven accusations of "slave labor" in Wariwck's German factory. If anyone has real evidence of the allegations that were made in various internet forums, this would be a good place to share them.

This thread is intended for refugees from this thread.

This is the basses section. Can we restrict the discussions to basses. I click "Basses" because that is what I want to read about. All off topic stuff in this forum can gtfo if you ask me.

I'm kind of curious but I'm also half-expecting thread closure...

I never envision threads deliberately encouraging "slander" lasting very long.

sure - I just wanted to move the off-topic discussion out of the Steve Bailey Bass thread

by inviting proof of these accusations, I expect this to be a quiet thread

I remember reading an article about that when it 1st popped up. Honestly from what I read it didn't seem any worse then the non-union factory job I had for 10 years. I'm no expert, but from things I've read, work in the EU is very different then in the U.S. If Warwick was based out of the USA you would never even hear about it. I'm also a Warwick owner, so I could be biased.

please do not use the basses forum to post non-bass specific topics. this discussion is not about a bass, or a kind of bass, and so does not belong in basses.
