Abuses in the Thai fishing industry have been well documented and were the subject ofhearings in the United States Congress in April. The Group of 7 countries — Britain, Canada,France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United States — represent 45 percent of globaleconomic output, which gives them considerable power to push for better working conditionsnot only for Thai fishing crews but also for miners in Democratic Republic of Congo and textileworkers in Bangladesh.

泰国渔业中虐待工人的现象有详细的资料记录，还是于今年4月举行的多次美国国会听证会的主题。七国集团——英国、加拿大、法国、德国、意大利、日本和美国——代表着45%的世界经济产出，所以拥有相当大的力量，不仅可以为泰国的渔业工作者，还可以为刚果民主共和国的矿工和孟加拉国的纺织工人，争取更好的工作条件。

The urgency was underlined on May 14 after at least 72 workers died in a fire that consumed afactory near Manila that made rubber sandals and slippers. The products were made for localmarkets, according to news reports, but the events showed the potentially deadlyconsequences of unsafe working conditions.

今年5月14日，马尼拉附近一家生产橡胶凉鞋和拖鞋的工厂被大火吞没，导致至少72名工人死亡，相关问题的急迫性由此得以突显。资讯报道称，这些产品是为当地市场制造的，但此类事故说明不安全的工作环境可能会带来怎样的致命后果。
