People’s Daily Online, China

UC students’ book spotlights Asians in garment sweatshops
Contra Costa Times, CA
By Valeria Godines
ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER
SANTA ANA – When Sarin Prakobwanakit and Justin Miyamoto took a UCLA class on labor and social justice, they knew very little about the garment industry. And they knew even less about the workers.
When they thought of downtrodden employees, they thought of Latinas, not Asians.
“I lived under the model-minority myth,” Miyamoto, 22, said. He thought Asians lived successful professional lives and never were low-income workers struggling for better working conditions. Read more about UC students' book spotlights Asians in garment sweatshops …

GARMENTS / STRONG BAHT
Strong baht takes a toll on garment industry growth
ARANEE JAIIMSIN
Bangkok Post, Thailand
The baht’s appreciation is expected to trim the textile and garment industry’s growth this year from the 4-5% earlier projected by the Thailand Textile Institute (TTI), according to Chen Namchaisiri, chairman of the textile industry club under the Federation of Thai Industries (FTI).
The TTI said the industry grew 2.6% in the first half this year and would expand by 4-5% to US$6.9-7 billion for the full year. This is due to the Japan-Thai Economic Partnership Agreement (JTEPA), which could help lift the sector’s overall exports to Japan from $400 million now.
