However, there are great uncertainties as to the probable success of this research, first of all as regards their ability to deal with three topics concerning labor relations in a global economy: a fair salary, decent working conditions and healthy work), and the right to associate.
In order to deal with these unknowns, Locke, and his group of doctoral students, have developed a series of studies on the conditions of work within the various supply chains; today's presentation comes from these studies.
