The language of Isaiah, "Their ambassadors came to Hanes," certainly seems to indicate a place in the direction of Jerusalem from Tanis.
This indication is also the sum of all the evidence yet available. There is no real knowledge concerning the exact location of Hanes. Opinions on the subject are little more than clever guesses. They rest almost entirely upon etymological grounds, a very precarious foundation when not supported by historical evidence. And next, the story of one company's tough business decisions.
Special correspondent Jeffrey Kaye has that report. At a new factory in Vietnam owned by the American underwear company Hanesbrands, workers are turning out men's briefs to be sold in the United States. This plant in Wei, in central Vietnam, is one of the firm's five new Asia factories, two in Vietnam, two in Thailand, and one in China.
Hanesbrands' Asia facilities opened in the past two-and-a-half years employ about 6, people. Vietnam has, you know, a good labor force, you know, good labor costs, you know, good infrastructure, good energy costs, and it is convenient for our fabric location in China.
It might go higher, you know, depending on the productivity. It's a six-day, hour workweek. Employees get free lunches, but cannot legally join a union that's not approved by the Communist Party.
