You're absolutely correct about the lack of democracy in Jordan, the lack of freedom of the press, the lack of the right to organize. The workers themselves, the guest workers—we're talking from their perspective—come to places like Jordan because they're incredibly poor. They want to give their families a little better life, so they're willing to travel all the way from Bangladesh or Sri Lanka and come to a factory like Classic.
All they want is their minimum rights. They're not asking for $10 an hour. They're not asking for two days off a week. They're not asking for an eight-hour day. In other words, it should actually be relatively easy to bring these factories into compliance with international labour rights standards. But at this particular point, from what I can see, there is no good faith on the part of the Jordanian Ministry of Labour or other elements.
Again, I mentioned about the media; an independent media is critical. We find out, though, that the media in Jordan is terrified. They self-censor themselves because of fines and threats of four years' imprisonment.
In fact, one gentleman, the AP head in Jordan, wrote a very truthful piece—I'll send you the article—about the rape of the young girls at the Classic factory. Well, what happened was that the U.S. companies picked up the telephone and called AP in New York City, their headquarters, to try to get this guy fired.
So there's a lot of stuff going on. This is what the labels are doing. It's a very tough situation. Any time you have guest workers from thousands of miles away, isolated from their home countries, with no rights, it's a very difficult circumstance.
