Well, I've got a couple of questions....do the other trade blocs garuntee anything?
Also, how would we set an agreement that would establish worker rights in another country? Would we in fact set a minimum wage (in another country) only for our suppliers that go there? Would it be set for any company that we import from there regardless of where it's home is?
