Please help me understand what the USA <\/span>has to do with this<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Labour union leaders of a Thailand-based lingerie factory on Saturday insisted they would defy martial law and stage a protest outside the US embassy in Bangkok this weekend to pressure company owners into paying severance pay to 1,400 laid-off workers. Union chairwoman Duangjai Muangtong told the Bangkok Post online news service that the protest, aimed at sparking a consumer boycott of Gina Form Bra Company’s lingerie, would be held on Sunday….<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Gina Form Bra is due to close by the end of October after company officials said they could no longer afford costs in Thailand and were moving operations to China.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Why are you protesting to the USA<\/st1:country-region><\/st1:place>? It’s your own country of Thailand<\/st1:country-region> that is loosing the production race to <\/span>China<\/st1:place><\/st1:country-region> by not being as productive and competitive. Whose fault is that, and please tell me what it has to do with America<\/st1:place><\/st1:country-region>? You should be protesting your<\/span> government for poor foresight in competing with <\/span>China<\/st1:place><\/st1:country-region>.<\/p>\n

Read the whole case here.<\/a> And a protest call at CLRlabor.org.<\/a> Unionvoice.org’s two cents<\/a>.<\/p>\n
