Abstract

"This Just In" piece reporting that Governor John Baldacci, while attending the national meeting of governors in Washington, D.C. last month, proposed a state collaborative to help enforce anti-sweatshop procurement laws. The law in Maine requires state contractors and subcontractors to purchase apparel, textiles, and footwear from companies enforcing fair labor standards. Bjorn Claeson, director of SweatFree Communities, said the proposed coalition would help defray costs of investigating claims of inhumane working conditions.
