Last week, in the stateside Bootrib, there was discussion about labor issues in Mexico. I mentioned in that discussion that I wondered what would happen in China regarding labor. Over here, I saw a diary by colman about living in a zero sum world. It seemed that the two threads needed to be connected and I simply ran out time this week to do so.

When I saw this story on the front page of the NYT on Friday, I set it aside until today. Seemed like it would be a good connector. Thanks for your post. This is an interesting and important development that could have a real positive effect on labor world-wide. Let's hope that China follows through. And what's happening in India?

I'll post a link on BT to send those involved on the earlier discussion over here.
