Need help to shop smart 

Editor: 

Many thanks for printing David Bacon's piece on persecution of union organizers in Rio Bravo.  

Bacon is a great resource. Could you ask him to do a piece that would help us uninformed folks to buy clothes and other consumer goods in a way that does not give profit to companies that violate human rights in order to coerce cheap labor here and overseas?  

Perhaps a brief list of “good guy” companies? or titles of sources we can refer to for our own buying?  

Any other things we can do?
