his refusal to unraise his brow is seriously distracting me.

This is why I love youtube. Where else would I be able to listen to a journalist I admire immensely in an interview from 1987 when i was 7 years old, lol.

But the problem with international labor laws is they alway sink to lowest denominator instead of rising to the higher levels. The lower denominator is the whole reason the jobs leave, as well as the corrupt governments that pay bribes. They do that in USA now paying bribes in the form of tax abatement, free infrastruture, no regulation through free trade zones in the middle of the country. All of it is treason , thieft of services, and looting of the public treasury, just like banana republic.

I can't take this guy seriously with that last name.

Hell they hire illegal alliens or aliens with work permits to even flip the burgers. We are outsiders in our own country! We have to work for a multinational or the military to even have a job and travel to someone elses land to work. It sucks! The sucking sound of a whole nations going round the drain. Circling the drain.

If International Law could gobalize labor rights this problem woudlnt exist as American workers would not have to compete with Mexican labor that gets paid disgraceful wages.
