| description | "EPZs, spreading particularly in the world's poorest countries, are spearheading the race to the bottom, the hunt for ever-cheaper labour, which undermines even the most basic workers' rights. Everything you need to know about EPZs: this report covers theory and practice with first hand accounts and case studies from around the world. The report expresses serious doubts as to the long-term benefits of EPZs in terms of development for the host countries. Benefits could be achieved if the rights of workers were respected - only the presence of free and independent trade unions in the zones could ensure this." |
