Indonesia: Wages and needs

[Tom Condit]

The Campaign for Labor Rights, which is pretty much running the Nike
boycott, has just posted a survey of wages and needs in Indonesia which is
very revealing and definitely refutes the notion that workers in LDCs don't
need higher wages because of their supposedly low cost of living.

It is part of today's posting from:

Presumably you can get a copy by asking. I don't know if it's up on their
web page yet.
