Jim,
>I'd like to see that any company making products (or having them made on their behalf) outside of their head-office country have the following comply to the laws of their head-office country (except where they might conflict with local laws):
>1)their facilities comply to the environmental laws;
>2)their employees (or contractors) working conditions (lighting, air quality, safety equipment and procedures and the like) comply the applicable laws.
>
>Of course this would only work if this wouldn't incent business to move their head-offices elsewhere, and I guess that isn't going to happen any time soon.
OC, in an ideal world, everyone would work in good conditions...but people/corporations get greedy. I think the way it works here is that those big designer clothes companies (from the US, etc.) purchase their clothes from manufacturers (Chinese, Korean, etc.) who operate factories here, in Mexico, Thailand, etc. I suspect, depending on how the Washington government goes, these factories will be long gone in a few years.
