But I'd like to deal with one misnomer, which often also comes up in NAFTA-type debates, the notion that applying "US labor laws" to the situation would be significant. Anyone who thinks that such laws deter anything has not had enough experience with them. The vast majority of employment discrimination cases are dismissed at the summary judgment stage. The remedy for discharging an employee trying to organize a union is reinstatement and backpay (no consequential or punitive damages). The cases take years to litigate and even if the employee prevails he or she will long since have moved on to other employment. The only reason anyone thinks that these laws do anything at all is that both the management and employee/union bars (and the RNC-DLC) have a vested interest in maintaining the illusion - attorneys fees and political quiessence. Thus, I want much more for oppressed workers in far away places than the extension of non-existent US laws that won't in reality protect them. What I want for them is the application of real criminal law to their situations (I don't care whose; it doesn't matter) - because criminality is at the heart of all of this.

What you exposed here has continued for years because Tom Delay blocked legislation that would have ended the exploitation of the women and girls living in the Mariana Island. Thank you for this"shining example" of of the evil produced by the marriage between the Republican Party and "K" Street. Even though Delay is gone his work continues thanks to his acolytes in Congress. Boot the Republican "evil dooers" out! Boycott goods made in the Mariana Islands.
