This is a highly disputed topic. Leading labor rights organizations disagree on what constitutes independent monitoring and, even, whether monitoring promotes or impedes the emergence of free trade unions. For the next several months, each issue of our newsletter will carry one position paper written by a key player in the movement. The first paper in the series is by Jeff Ballinger, director of Press for Change. Since the 1980s, Ballinger has been tracking Nike labor abuses in Indonesia. Ballinger's paper has some surprises, even for those who have worked closely with him in the Nike campaign. His paper will be of interest to a variety of readers, from seasoned Nike campaign activists to others, newer to the sweatshop movement. Subscribe to the Campaign for Labor Rights newsletter now - and don't miss a single entry in this important and timely forum on monitoring.
