Abstract
"this just in" piece reporting that on May 2 Gov. John Baldacci signed into law the official anti-sweatshop rules that the state is required to follow in contracting for all the clothes, textiles and footwear it buys. The new rules require that purchases are made by workers earning a fair wage and working under humane conditions. The Bangor-based Peace Through Interamerican Community Action (PICA), which runs the Bangor Clean Clothes Campaign, noted that Maine has lost 7,500 garment jobs over the last 10 years to sweatshop factories.
