  6. A Crisis In Indian Banking: How High Targets, Work Pressure Are Driving Employees To Despair, Suicide

    Work woes pushed nearly 500 bank employees in India to suicide over the past decade. Some left damning letters citing abuse by seniors, and unions said staff were being coerced to commit fraud in order to present a rosy picture of achieved targets. Customers are not unaffected—fraudulent practices rob account-holders, litigation costs affect shareholders’ dividends. Over 100 letters by staffers, unions to management detailed systemic abuse and disempowerment of employees, and normalisation of fraud. The second of a two-part series.

    I'm so glad someone's addressing this.

    If #Qatar brings #labourExploitation to the fore worldwide, maybe the #Brexit voices in the #UK that only miss the #EU as a source of #cheaplabour will shut up. They are a betrayal of our struggle to #Rejoin and of our best aspirations for the development of the EU.

    But what about the Theory of #ComparativeAdvantage?

    We're kidding. Great post.

    The only main comparative advantages are climate-based or based on #geology and geography. The rest is largely about #labourExploitation and propensity for #environmentalAbuses in our view.

    Wonder what #MichaelParenti's view on Comp'Adv would be? ;)

    Let's bring on the change we want to see in the world.
