“The Future of Work” Round Table spotlights Fair Food Program, Worker-driven Social Responsibility model! Labor rights experts weigh in on worker exploitation in global supply chains and the Worker-driven Social Responsibility (WSR) model as a proven solution: “It’s about shifting power, resources, and control… in ways that legally obligate companies to prioritize the needs and rights of workers. Currently WSR is the only way in global supply chains to do that.” “The implications… are massive… It is completely replicable, scalable, implementable…” “…one of the best examples of worker-led labour rights change out there today…” Earlier this month, Open Democracy, the online hub for a global discussion on democracy and human rights, published the first installment of a long-awaited research project titled, “The Future of Work.” In an extensive article, Open Democracy pulled together the voices of twelve human rights leaders – hailing from China and India to Great Britain and the United States – for a “Round Table” discussion. The co-authors of the piece teed up the conversation with this question: “How can workers and their allies shape a better future for work?” The thoughtful discussion that followed – which began with the basic premise that the corporate social responsibility model has, by and large, failed miserably in protecting the rights of workers in global supply chains – weaved together decades of experience from labor rights experts from around the world. Participants included ProDESC (a leading NGO at the center of Mexico’s courageous human rights movement), the US-based Solidarity Center, former U.S. Ambassador Lou CdeBaca (whose portfolio within the State Department under the Obama Administration was “to monitor and combat trafficking in persons”), the Worker-driven Social Responsibility Network, and of course, the CIW...

Trump's Tax Fraud Is Electoral Fraud-A View From The Left

Impeach Trump for tax fraud.  Share this action on Facebook  Share this action on Twitter Donald Trump campaigned for office on a series of lies.While he had no political accomplishments, he claimed great business success. This was fundamentally false. Trump engaged in extensive tax fraud which served as the basis for his dramatic misrepresentation to the public of his accomplishments. According to evidence made public by the New York Times and not countered by President Trump, he and his siblings committed numerous felonies in the course of obtaining wealth from their father while paying approximately 5% rather than the 55% in taxes that the law required. The past crimes are impeachable. Click here to tell your member of the House of Representatives. Trump and his siblings committed fraud, in part, by undervaluing properties, a crime known as appraisal fraud. Donald Trump and his siblings claimed that properties given them by their father were worth $41.4 million, but sold those properties for over 16 times that amount during the next decade. They did this during the Savings and Loan Scandal which saw numerous individuals sent to prison for similar crimes. It's too late for criminal prosecution, though not for civil suits, and not for an impeachment investigation with the power of subpoena. Refusing to hand over tax forms or any other relevant evidence to an impeachment investigation creates a new impeachable offense. As Richard Nixon found out. Click here to email Congress now. Trump and his siblings also massively overcharged their father's companies for largely nonexistent services in order to both obtain his wealth and reduce his profits. The reduction in profits allowed Trump's father to increase the rent he charged people for publicly subsidized, rent-controlled properties. Through these and other fraudulent activities, Donald Trump was made wealthy by the transfer of money from his father. In the analysis of one expert, if Trump had simply invested that money in a simple investment fund, he would now have the $10 billion he falsely claimed to have as a candidate for president. In reality, Trump lost a fortune through business failures. As a candidate, however, by lying about his wealth and the origins of his wealth, Donald Trump misled voters to believe him a highly successful business man. Trump falsely claimed to have received only $1 million from his father which he had been required to pay back. This and much of his campaign was false. Trump's tax fraud laid the basis for his electoral fraud. He was elected based on false advertising hiding criminal activities. A means of undoing such mistakes was thought of and created by the drafters of the U.S. Constitution. Impeach Trump!
