I do believe that the cort workers should have the code of conduct in their plants regardless of the location of there country. Its the American way and we should see that it spreads everywhere.[/b]

Could you provide a bit more info please as your post is pretty cryptic. The Cort workers have been mounting an international campaign to let the world know about the sweat shop conditions that they endure in ther Korean factories especially.Several major guitar companies -and even some in the U.S. that I won't name but most know who they are-have many of their guitars made by the Cort factories.Workers are forced to work overtime without being compensated-either that or lose their jobs.They are forced to use industrial sanders and sand toxic woods such as mahogany without breathing or eye protection and there has been rampant physical and even sexual abuse.These instances have been established as factual and in many cases have been documented.Many endorsees have stopped their endorsement deals with Cort and have staged concerts to collect funds for the locked out workers and Fender execs have met with a contingent of the workers.A lot of the workers have given up on Cort and have formed self sufficent co-operatives from monies collected from these concerts and sympathetic companies that believe in their cause.They are calling for an international boycott of Cort Products which I will support wholeheartedly.Is this what you were alluding to?
