<br/><br/> LABOR PROGRESS CLASHES WITH GLOBAL REALITY -- This article profiles an experimental factory in San Salvador, formed by the U.S. company Gap, that is reforming labor regulations and conditions in the third world. "In some ways, the factory, called Charter, shows what Western companies can do to discourage abuse by suppliers. But Gap's experience also demonstrates the limits to good intentions when first-world appetites collide with third-world realities." (NEW YORK TIMES)  MADE IN SQUALOR: AT HOME, MEXICO MISTREATS ITS MIGRANT FARMHANDS -- "President Vicente Fox has been an outspoken advocate of Mexican laborers in the United States, pressing Washington to improve their working conditions. But in his five months in office, he has not devoted a speech to the cares of migrant workers at home." (NEW YORK TIMES) This article highlights the plight of Mexican migrant workers.
