Workers rights

samedi 11 novembre 2017 à 01:00

We need global standards for safety and minimum wage, to protect subcontracted workers.

But we also need global mechanisms for enforcing workers rights — for instance, their right to receive their pay. I think we need to limit imports from countries that don't effectively make employers pay their workers.

Sometimes the US doesn't adequately require employers to pay their workers. In some situations, we might want to require employers to post a bond to pay the workers if the company fails to. Or we might want to make the marketing front companies that sell the imported goods responsible for paying subcontracted workers.
