  1. NO LOGO by why-is-it · · Score: 4, Informative

    The tactics described in this article here are very similar to the ones the large brands use on contract workers in the export zones in SE Asia. Naomi Klein describes it at length in her book NO LOGO.

    Strange that these same management techniques which work so well on the poor and uneducated overseas are now being used domestically.
