I agree with Kevin Baker: "What the Senate and the Obama administration should do — what the rest of us must make these reluctant reformers do — is set us on a course toward a whole new social compact, just as Perkins, Smith, Wagner and so many others once did. This would mean binding, worldwide agreements that set minimum standards for wages, working conditions and the freedom to organize labor unions. These would mean real penalties, including the right and duty to refuse goods from countries that violate them. We must protect, empower, and enhance those internationals institutions that now seek to monitor such conditions."
