watch out

There are many good watch groups. PR watch, labor rights watch, NGO, treaty, global governance etc. It's hard to keep up...there are rights organizations, like global labour rights that act like watches..

There's a story about working conditions in Jordan that reminds of us the triangle shirtwaist factory incident . The men were acquitted of criminal charges, but were forced to pay $75 to each of the victims families. They bad guys then sued the insurance company and were awarded $400 for each victim...nice profit for killing people. Two years later one of those rats locked the doors on workers again.

There are reports of factories that now have netting around factory rooftops to prevent suicide of workers.

So let's just keep our noses to the grindstones so we can have our infotainment and cheap goods. Where is the next Francis Perkins when you need her?
