Cornell Webcast on Russell Athletics Agreement on Supplier Labour Rights

by David Doorey March 16, 2010
written by David Doorey March 16, 2010

I noted a while back a significant agreement reached between Russell Athletics and a coalition of NGOs and workers’ advocates involving the treatment of workers in Russell’s suppliers in Honduras.  This is a great case study on the potential influence of non-state actors in influencing corporate practices.
This afternoon, Cornell is doing a webcast on the agreement with some of the main participants in the negotiations, including the company’s negotiators, and two of Cornell’s industrial relations professors, Lance Compa and Harry Katz.  Here is information. If you can watch live, go to this link at 4:30 p.m. (eastern).I think Cornell posts the lectures afterwards, in case you miss it live.

Marjorie Taylor Greene believes generating electricity from “wind turbines and solar panels” will result in the loss of air conditioning and home appliances.

Greene: “I like the lights on. I want to stay up later at night. I don’t want to have to go to bed when the sun sets.”

A student told me she is translating chapters of my book into Korean because she learned a lot and wants it as a reference but English is her second language.

Any Korean speakers out there? What does this say?
