Vietnamese workers earn less than $2 a day making stuffed animals and Happy Meal toys for U.S. consumers. An ongoing series of wildcat strikes this winter has forced the government to raise wages to prevent factories from moving to other countries

I boycotted mcdonalds yeaaarrs ago, have u? SHOULD we? I think so

Ideally we should see more pressure to raise wages in third world countries as the countries become more developed. We don't want them to be exploited while we lose our jobs forever. Maybe some corporations would, but screw 'em. They're not in charge and if that is what globalization is about, screw globalization.
But no, globalization is about the market finally trickling out of the West, helping other economies catch up so that we can get that much closer to an optimum economic situation for the world.
These demands for higher wages in Vietnam succeeding are proof that the market is doing what it's supposed to, despite the occasional setbacks.
