In the United States, 4.8 million migrant workers in 1999 (the latest year for which numbers are available) worked as "production workers, transport, equipment operators and labourers" (for example, construction workers), 3 million as service workers (janitors, nannies, security guards), and 2.6 million as professional and technical workers. For example, the Center for Immigration Studies, a U.S.-based anti-immigration think tank, takes the position that negotiating guestworker programs in the WTO places the entire framework of U.S. immigration law at risk of being challenged as a "trade barrier" and overturned in the WTO dispute resolution process.
Despite the long history of global federations, no real global union exists. "For a union to exist at any place and any time, there are many preconditions," says Ron Oswald, general secretary of the International Union of Foodworkers (IUF), one of the most imaginative global union federations. "First workers [must] know there's a union, and employers [must] know there's a union. I'm not sure any worker or employer knows there's a global union. It's a brand, not a reality. International companies are clearly a reality. International unions have yet to become so. Unions are seeking other ways to meet global capital on a more level playing field. In January, several unions-Amicus and the Transport and General Workers Union (T&G), two of Britain's largest unions; IG Metall (the giant G...

The Rancho del Cabo farming cooperative in the Los Cabos region of Baja, Mexico, earns $22,000 per year, with the most productive cooperative members earning between $50,000 and $125,000. Migrant workers from the area have given up construction and restaurant work in the United States to go back home and farm. The cooperative has also transformed agriculture in southern Baja. Other farmers have adopted organic farming to compete in the expanding organic produce market. With growing sales, little debt, and about $33 million in annual revenue, Rancho del Cabo is flourishing by any standards. In the United States, the Whole Foods Market and Trader Joe's chains are Rancho del Cabo's biggest buyers.
Research indicates the vast majority of undocumented immigrants want to work within the system, and are only coming to the U.S. to fill jobs where there is a shortage of willing U.S. workers. A Pew Hispanic Center survey shows that, by a 4-to-1 margin (71 percent vs. 18 percent), migrant workers will participate in a temporary worker program that would allow them to work in the United States on the condition that they return home. The Cornyn-[Kyl] creates a new temporary visa category that allows a worker who has a job offer from a U.S. employer to enter the country for a short period of time and then requires the worker to return home. It creates financial incentives for circular migration, including a temporary worker investment fund that vests only when the worker returns to his home...

Author explains how living in a nomadic shelter can be incredibly comfortable Empty the coin jars and get ready to move onto that little plot you bought on a whim five years ago. For $3,897.52, you and your family can live large in a 19-foot Mongolian yurt you set up in just hours. While that may sound ridiculous and incredible, according to author and yurt expert Becky Kemery the yurt is a time-tested housing alternative gaining in popularity throughout North America, Europe and, of course, Central Asia. Kemery spoke to a crowd of about 25 people Saturday (April 7) at UnitedSpace in Ranchos de Taos, none of whom owned a yurt, but about 10 people said they were looking to buy and build their own. With the first recorded "ger" or yurt dating back more than 5,000 years, and perhaps rivale...
