Description

"This report reveals the double standards at the heart of the corporate practices that are emerging under globalisation. Companies' demands for faster, more flexible, and cheaper production in their supply chains are undermining the very labour standards that they claim to be promoting. Women workers - and their families - pay the price. Many face insecure contracts, intense production pressure, and intimidation in the workplace. Governments, competing to attract investment and boost exports, have too often exacerbated the problem. Instead of strengthening protection for labour rights, they have simply traded them away."--Jacket.
