Taken from the Trades -
1) Apple reports labor, safety problems at suppliers
SHANGHAI — Apple says its audits found labor, safety
and other abuses by its suppliers in
2010, though it praised Taiwanese manufacturer Foxconn for saving lives
through its handling of a spate of suicides at its factories in China.

2) Marlboro maker sues China websites for counterfeit cigarettes
Marlboro maker Altria Group is suing seven Chinese online retailers,
alleging they sold
counterfeit versions of its top-selling cigarette brands to customers
in the U.S. The company says the websites are violating federal law
by shipping cigarettes through the mail and infringing on its trademarks.
It is asking the court to ban the online retailers from selling the
product and turn over profits from the cigarettes, along with punitive
damages.

5) Why Money Chases Cheap Labor – The Outsourcing Phenomenon
When the monthly cost for health insurance for one U.S. worker

wonder firms follow the money trail abroad.

hidden plans to introduce further tax increases.”

in teaching your students about VAT.
After you feel your students understand VAT, ask them to discuss this

initiated a VAT in the U.S.?”
