I notice that they mentioned Saipan as well. I saw a horrifying documentary on the sweatshops of Saipan. Actually, I think it was on one of those news magazine shows. They were saying that products made in Saipan carry the "Made in the USA" label, so even if you only buy things made in the US or Canada, you still are likely to get slave labour items.
