Host Nolan will lead a discussion of issues surrounding sweatshop labor in
Mexico. Listeners are invited to call in and participate. Topics will
include how NAFTA/FTAA affects workers and employers on both sides of the
border; the "economic necessity" of cheap labor, how sweatshops fulfill
it, and possible alternatives; the student movement against
sweatshops; UNC's licensing contracts and membership in labor monitoring
groups; and what it means to be labor-friendly and a responsible consumer.


Guests may include representatives from the License and Labor Code
Advisory, Demand Economic Justice (formerly Students for Economic
Justice), and the UNC-CH School of Social Work.
