In the global economy, corporations demand enforceable laws - intellectual property and copyright laws - backed up by sanctions to protect their products. However, when we ask these same companies, "Can't we also protect the rights of the 16-year-old who made the product?," the companies respond: "No. That would be an impediment to free trade!" Young garment workers in Bangladesh share their experiences working for companies like Disney and Wal-Mart.
This is a continuation of the Hidden Face of Globalization Part III.

Capatilism is being eroded by huge corporations lobbying our governments for laws that empower their interest. It's happening here but at a slower pace. Our wages keep dropping or stay stagnet while corporations banks and companies keep publisihing soaring profits. Companies lay off workers or close altogether. Mussolini had a definition..."When the interest of the corporation takes completely over from every other interest: thats fascism."

i said nothing about shutting off from the global economy. expect to say that you need to built a local economy before going global that is what the US did before going global. It's because of cheap labour that it's exports are suffering.

Exactly right when Barbara Briggs said American workers against workers oversees competing in a "race to the bottom" to see who is "lucky" enough to get these jobs.
The owners of the companies should be made to live and work in the same conditions.
