Thinking about Wal-Mart’s child labor violations reminded me of an international effort around violations of labor rights worldwide. The Campaign to Abolish Sweatshops and Child Labor had put together a piece of legislation that would “require companies to disclose information related to potential violations of core labor standards, by preventing a market for goods made with sweatshop labor, and by requiring future trade agreements to address core labor.”

Take a look at the complete legislative idea at the National Labor Committee’s site.

Funny thing: we need to get the U.S. to adhere to those standards first.
