Check out my most recent blog entry at ILRF's labor rights blog about sandblasted jeans. If you've got some time, look at some of the other stuff on the blog and ILRF's website. As you may or may not (but hopefully are) aware, some crazy stuff is happening around the world lately and a lot of it is intimately linked with workers' rights. The political unrest shaking things up in the Middle East and North Africa was sparked by a man in Tunisia who set fire to himself after he was refused the right to sell vegetables on the streets. And closer to most of your homes, thousands of protestors in Wisconsin have been flooding the capital opposing cuts to workers' benefits and the rights of unions. It is quite an interesting time to be working at a labor rights organization!
p.s. We got up to about 75 degrees the other day. It is now hailing. wah.
