[IWS] SPLC: Del Monte Liable for Worker Mistreatment [21 March 2008]]
by Eugene McElroy 24 Mar '08

24 Mar '08

Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) Food Giant Liable for Worker Mistreatment http://www.splcenter.org/news/item.jsp?aid=304 March 21, 2008 A wholly owned subsidiary of food giant Del Monte cannot hide behind a middleman labor contractor to avoid responsibility for the exploitation of farmworkers who plant and harvest its fields, a federal court has ruled. The order holding Del Monte Fresh Produce Southeast Inc. liable for alleged wage violations came in a <http://www.splcenter.org/legal/docket/files.jsp?cdrID=57&sortID=0>l awsuit filed by the Southern Poverty Law Center in April 2006 on behalf of foreign guestworkers and domestic migrant farmworkers who were recruited to work in Georgia's Wheeler and Telfair counties. About 500 field and factory workers in Del Monte's sweet onion operation there were badly underpaid for planting, harvesting and packaging onions. Agricultural guestworkers are brought into the United States from other countries on special H-2A visas that permit them to work only for the employer who requests them. "Rather than paying its workers directly, Del Monte contracted with a grossly undercapitalized labor contractor to be the supposed boss of the workers while Del Monte gave all the orders," said Kristi Graunke, an SPLC attorney handling the case. "This is a common tactic by corporations leaving somebody without assets holding the bag for their wage violations," she said. The ruling means that Del Monte Southeast, the actual owner of the farm, is legally on the hook for any violations. There has been no final ruling on whether the wage violations occurred. The case could eventually include up to 500 migrant workers. "This decision is particularly significant because it provides a roadblock to a disturbing trend by large corporate growers that import workers," said Mary Bauer, director of the SPLC's Immigrant Justice Project. "Increasingly, those corporations attempt to evade responsibility for their workers by having middlemen generally penniless crew leaders submit the applications for H-2A workers, instead of the wealthy corporations doing so themselves." Workers were promised and were entitled to receive payment as prescribed by federal regulations, but they were consistently cheated out of the wages due them. The plaintiffs, who are indigent, left their homes and families and spent considerable sums of money to travel to Georgia to work for Del Monte. The ruling came in <http://www.splcenter.org/legal/docket/files.jsp?cdrID=57&sortID=0> Luna v. Del Monte Fresh Produce (Southeast Inc.). SPLC lawyers now must document Del Monte's wage violations. "The folks at Del Monte should be ashamed of themselves," Bauer said. "A Fortune 600 company certainly has enough money to make sure everyone working for them receives the legal wages due them." **************************************** Stuart Basefsky Director, IWS News Bureau Institute for Workplace Studies Cornell/ILR School 16 E. 34th Street, 4th Floor New York, NY 10016 Telephone: (607) 255-2703 Fax: (607) 255-9641 E-mail: smb6(a)cornell.edu **************************************** -- Eugene McElroy Rutgers University School of Management and Labor Relations Library 50 Labor Center Way New Brunswick, New Jersey 08901 732-932-9513 tel: 732-932-9513 ********

[IWS] CRS: CHINA'S ECONOMIC CONTIONS, Updated March 11, 2008]
by Eugene McElroy 24 Mar '08

24 Mar '08

Congressional Research Service (CRS) Order Code RL33534 China's Economic Conditions, Updated March 11, 2008 Wayne M. Morrison, Specialist in International Trade and Finance, Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division http://assets.opencrs.com/rpts/RL33534_20080311.pdf [full-text, 31 pages] Summary Since the initiation of economic reforms in 1979, China has become one of the world's fastest-growing economies. From 1979 to 2007 China's real gross domestic product (GDP) grew at an average annual rate of 9.8%. Real GDP grew 11.4% in 2007 (the fastest annual growth since 1994). While China is expected to continue to enjoy rapid economic growth in the years ahead and could become the world's largest economy within a decade or so, it faces a number of challenges, including widespread corruption, an inefficient banking system, over-dependence on exports and fixed investment for growth, pollution, widening income disparities, and growing inflationary pressures. The Chinese government has indicated that it intends, over the coming years, to create a "harmonious society" that would promote more balanced economic growth and address a number of economic and social issues. Trade and foreign investment continues to play a major role in China's booming economy. From 2004 to 2007, the value of total Chinese merchandise trade nearly doubled. In 2007, China's exports (at $1,218 billion) exceeded U.S. exports (1,162 billion) for the first time. China's imports were $956 billion and its trade surplus was $262 billion (a historic high). Well over half of China's trade is conducted by foreign firms operating in China. The combination of large trade surpluses, foreign direct investment flows, and large-scale purchases of foreign currency have helped make China the world's largest holder of foreign exchange reserves at $1.5 trillion at the end 2007. China's economy continues to be a concern to many U.S. policymakers. On the one hand, U.S. consumers, exporters, and investors have greatly benefitted from China's rapid economic and trade growth. On the other hand, the surge in Chinese exports to the United States has put competitive pressures on various U.S. industries. Many U.S. policymakers have argued that China often does not play by the rules when it comes to trade and they have called for greater efforts to pressure China to fully implement its World Trade Organization (WTO) commitments and to change various economic policies deemed harmful to U.S. economic interests, such as its currency policy, its use of subsidies to support state-owned firms, trade and investment barriers to U.S. goods and services, and failure to ensure the safety of its exports to the United States. Concerns have also been raised over China's rising demand for energy and raw materials, its impact on world prices for such commodities, increased pollution levels, and efforts China has made to invest in energy and raw materials around the world, including countries (such as Iran, North Korea, and Sudan) where the United States has political and human rights concerns. This report provides an overview of China's economic development, challenges China faces to maintain growth, and the implications of China's rise as a major economic power for the United States. This report will be updated as events warrant.

[IWS] CRS: CHINA-U.S. TRADE ISSUES [7 March 2008]]
by Eugene McElroy 24 Mar '08

24 Mar '08

Congressional Research Service (CRS) Order Code RL33536 China-U.S. Trade Issues, Updated March 7, 2008 Wayne M. Morrison, Specialist in International Trade and Finance, Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division http://assets.opencrs.com/rpts/RL33536_20080307.pdf [full-text, 34 pages] Summary U.S.-China economic ties have expanded substantially over the past several years. Total U.S.-China trade, which totaled only $5 billion in 1980, rose to $387 billion in 2007. China overtook Japan to become the third largest U.S. export market, and overtook Canada to become the largest source of U.S. imports. With a huge population and a rapidly expanding economy, China is a potentially huge market for U.S. exporters. However, U.S.-China economic relations have become strained over a number of issues, including large and growing U.S. trade deficits with China (which hit $256 billion in 2007), China's failure to fully implement its World Trade Organization (WTO) commitments (especially in regards to protection of intellectual property rights), its refusal to adopt a floating currency system, its use of industrial policies and other practices deemed unfair and/or harmful to various U.S. economic sectors, and failure to ensure that its exports to the United States meet U.S. health and safety standards. The Bush Administration has come under increasing pressure from Congress to take a more aggressive stance against various Chinese economic and trade practices. In response, it filed a number of trade dispute resolution cases against China in the WTO, including China's failure to protect IPR and afford market access for IPRrelated products, discriminatory regulations on imported auto parts, and import and export subsidies to various industries in China. In addition, the Administration reversed a long-standing policy that countervailing cases (dealing with government subsidies) could not be brought against non-market economies (such as China). In December 2006, the Administration began a "Strategic Economic Dialogue" (SED) with China to discuss major long-term economic issues between the two countries; the latest SED talks were held in December 2007. In response to growing concerns in the United States over the health, safety, and quality of certain Chinese products, the Administration in 2007 concluded agreements with China on toys, food and feed, drugs and medical devices, and tires. Numerous bills have been introduced in Congress that would impact U.S.-China economic relations. H.R. 321, H.R. 782, H.R. 1002, H.R. 2942, S. 364, S. 796, S. 1607, and S. 1677 seek to address China's currency policy. H.R. 388 would prohibit U.S. imports of Chinese autos as long as Chinese tariffs on autos are higher than U.S. tariffs. H.R. 708, H.R. 1229, and S. 974 would apply U.S. countervailing laws to China. H.R. 1958 and S. 571 would terminate China's permanent normal trade relations status. H.R. 275 would prohibit U.S. companies from aiding regimes that restrict Internet access. S. 1919 would limit the president's discretion on Section 421 investigations on import surges from China. H.R. 3273 would expand U.S. export promotion programs to boost exports to China. Finally, numerous bills have been introduced to address concerns over unsafe imports (including from China). This report examines major U.S.-China trade issues and will be updated as events warrant.

[IWS] EEOC: RACIAL HARASSMENT from INT'L CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY EMPLOYER settled [19 March 2008]]
by Eugene McElroy 21 Mar '08

21 Mar '08

EEOC WASHINGTON GROUP INTERNATIONAL TO PAY $1.5 MILLION TO BLACK WORKERS WHO WERE RACIALLY HARASSED [19 March 2008] EEOC Settles Suit Against Global Employer in the Construction Industry http://www.eeoc.gov/press/3-19-08.html BOSTON The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) today announced a litigation settlement with Washington Group International, Inc. (WGI) for $1.5 million dollars, as well as significant injunctive relief, on behalf of African American workers who were racially harassed and then retaliated against for complaining about it. WGI is a provider of planning, engineering, design, construction, technical, management, and operations and maintenance services to public and private sector clients worldwide. The EEOC charged in its lawsuit that WGI created a racially hostile work environment for black employees and failed to take appropriate action to remedy the discriminatory conduct at the Sithe Mystic Power Plant construction project in Everett, Mass. -- which the company managed as general contractor from approximately December 2001 through June 2003. WGI not only subjected black employees to racial graffiti and other forms of harassment, the EEOC said, but retaliated against them for complaining. Employers must remain vigilant in protecting all employees from racial harassment, especially in todays increasingly diverse labor force, said EEOCs New York District Director Spencer H. Lewis, Jr. In this case, rather than swiftly taking corrective action to remedy the racially hostile workplace, WGI targeted the victims for retaliatory measures, including termination. The EEOC filed suit against WGI in 2004 under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Case No. 04-12097-GAO in the U.S. District Court of Massachusetts). The consent decree resolving the case was submitted to U.S. District Court Magistrate Judge Marianne B. Bowler for approval. Under the decree, WGI will pay $1.3 million to be shared among six African American former employees, and $200,000 will be apportioned among eleven similarly situated individuals identified during the litigation. Injunctive relief includes requiring WGI to conduct anti-discrimination training and implement an anti-graffiti policy; revise its equal employment opportunity policies and procedures; post a notice about the settlement for all Power Unit construction sites for the next two years; and monitoring by the EEOC for a period of two years. R. Liliana Palacios-Baldwin, senior trial attorney in the EEOCs Boston Area Office, said: Even though a construction site may be viewed by some as a rough and tumble workplace, discrimination is unlawful regardless of the job site it doesnt matter whether employees work behind a computer or behind a forklift. On Feb. 28, 2007, EEOC Chair Naomi C. Earp launched the Commission's E-RACE Initiative (Eradicating Racism And Colorism from Employment), a national outreach, education, and enforcement campaign focusing on new and emerging race and color issues in the 21st century workplace. Further information about the E-RACE Initiative is available on the EEOCs web site at <http://www.eeoc.gov/initiatives/e-race/index.html> Washington Group International, Inc. is a provider of planning, engineering, design, construction, technical, management, and operations and maintenance services to public and private sector clients worldwide. Further information about Washington Group International, Inc. can be found on the companys website: <http://www.wgint.com> The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination.
