"As corporate-led globalization leads to unparalleled profits for some, poverty and inequality are growing at unparalleled rates throughout the world. The ineluctable rise in free market reforms contributes to rising costs for food and basic necessities for many in the third world. In this environment, nation-states are unable to determine their economic destinies, and national labor unions are defenseless in protecting the wages and conditions of workers. The failure of neoliberal global policy to address the conditions of the poor is contributing to unprecedented international labor migration and greater economic insecurity among U.S. workers."
