Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the problem of sweatshops in the United States, specifically: (1) the extent and nature of sweatshops nationwide; (2) federal, state, and local efforts to regulate sweatshops; and (3) policy options that might help control the problem. GAO found that: (1) 40 of the 53 Department of Justice (DOJ) and Department of Labor (DOL) officials it interviewed believed that sweatshops were a serious problem in at least one industry in their geographical area; (2) the restaurant, apparel, and meat-processing industries had the most serious and widespread problems; (3) Hispanic and Asian ethnic groups had the largest percentages of workers in sweatshops in those three industries; (4) the officials believed that, in the past 10 years, the severity of violations in the three industries remained about the same or became worse; and (5) there were violations throughout 47 of the 50 states. GAO also found that examples of violations found in the three industries included: (1) failure to keep required records of wages, hours worked, and injuries; (2) incorrect wages, both below the minimum wage and without overtime compensation; (3) illegal work by minors; (4) fire hazards; and (5) work procedures that could cause crippling illness. In addition, GAO found factors: (1) responsible for violations included the large immigrant work force, low profit margins in labor-intensive industries, too few inspectors, and inadequate penalties; and (2) limiting enforcement efforts included limited coordination between DOL and DOJ, insufficient staff resources, and the inadequacy of penalties for wage and hour violations under present law. GAO identified three policy options to improve enforcement, including: (1) increasing the number of compliance officers and changing enforcement priorities; (2) developing closer working relationships among the enforcement agencies; and (3) amending the Fair Labor Standards Act to provide civil monetary penalties for violations.

In the minds of most people, the home has stood apart from the world of work. By bringing the factory or office home, homework challenges this division. Home to Work restores the voices of homeworking women to the century-long debate over their labour. It provides a historical context to the Reaganite lifting of New Deal bans. Where once men's right to contract inhibited regulation, now women's right to employment undermined prohibition. Economic and political justice, whether based on rights to homework or rights as workers, will depend on homeworkers becoming visible as workers who happen to mother.

This book combines a case study of industrial homework in the electronics industry with a world-systems approach to understanding the role of home-based work in economic development. It spans the period from the nineteenth-century origins of industrial homework to the important role played by home-based work in current strategies of economic restructuring in manufacturing and service industries. The author draws a clear distinction between industrial homework and earlier forms of domestic labor, such as the putting-out system. She also clarifies the important differences between various forms of contemporary home-based work: waged homework in industrial and service occupations, professional telecommuting, home-based self-employment. Moving from the lives of homeworkers themselves to macro-level analyses, Dangler's case study provides a vantage point from which to examine theories of world economic development, theories of labor market segmentation, and recent analyses of the importance of informal sector activities in the modern economy.

Feminists have recently begun to challenge the powerful influence of the law on the social and cultural construction of women’s roles, identities, and rights. At the Boundaries of Law is a timely and path-breaking work that provides a series of non-technical, interdisciplinary explorations into the nature and effects of legal regulation on women’s lives. Together the essays examine the fertile – and radically revisionary – links between feminism and legal theory. But At the Boundaries of Law rejects the abstract ‘grand theorizing’ of traditional feminist legal theory, focusing instead on the concrete and material implications of the legal injustices endured by women. These essays emphasise the complex diversity of female experience, collectively arguing for legal theory and practice that both recognises and accommodates the concept of ‘difference’ – in gender, class, race and sexual orientation. At the Boundaries of Law also raises provocative questions about the methodology and future of feminist legal theory itself. In its rich variety of issues and approaches, this volume will command the interest not only of legal theorists, but of those interested in women’s studies, philosophy, politics, sociology and history. It is sure to set the future agenda for scholars, policymakers and anyone concerned with the role of law in society.
