My only real problem with a "race to the bottom" is when the competition is between countries with differences on subjects like human rights, since then it puts pressure on those involved to lower their own standards on those important issues as well, until they reach equilibrium. Otherwise I'd call it healthy competition, which I consider constructive in any democracy.
- coldtea 13y agoI agree, but I call the right to proper working conditions and a decent salary also a "human right". Else, why is slavery not allowed and having a guy working for 80 hours a week, with no paid overtime, and lax working safety is? Because he supposedly "has a choice not to work"? Well, millions of people accepting those jobs rarely have a choice.
