Warning graphic--pig slaughter in Thailand.

I've heard of abuse of (Burmese) refugees in fishing industry, Thai farms and orchards, logging, shrimp and tuna factories (where I have been)--

I bet workers in Thai pork industry are also Burmese migrant labor.

I can't do anything except write a novel.

I am already working on one about a Burmese monk who fled the country during the Saffron Revolution of 2007 and then had to disrobe, for economic reasons and work in a slaughterhouse (chickens) in upstate NY.

For research I read Upton Sinclair's famous novel The Jungle, which you can find on the Gutenberg Project, but it was so sad, the exploitation of labor, I haven't yet finished reading it.
