[QUOTE="John Roberts, post: 101312, member: 126"] Re: Overtime Bangladesh garment workers are trying to unionize...and encountering violence and push back from the factory owners. I support their collective bargaining effort. Evidence exists of substandard work conditions and abuse "there" if unchecked. If they press for too high wages they negotiate themselves out of a profitable industry so that aspect is self-correcting. Not that collective bargaining always serves their own best interest when negative consequences are not relatively short term and readily apparent. Look at auto industry, and Detroit. Big pay was nice while it lasted but economic reality always gets the last word, when the music stops. Lady Gaga's right hand girl.... she'll be OK. While suing her last employer may not look good on her resume. JR [/QUOTE]
