AFL-CIO urges sanctions vs. China for low wages By Stephen Franklin, Chicago Tribune
In an unprecedented challenge to a major trading partner, the AFL-CIO yesterday asked the US government to apply economic sanctions against China for allegedly operating an abusive, low-pay system that has cost thousands of American jobs.
Such business practices allow companies doing business in the world's largest country to pay their workers up to 86 percent less than they should, allowing them to cut prices by as much as 44 percent, the labor group said.
That's resulted in the loss of up to 727,130 factory jobs in the United States, according to the umbrella labor group, which represents the nation's major unions.------------------------------------------- posted 11:44 AM :: reference link ::
