Personal highlights of a great European Season: the Top 10 of ...
In the hour before the Champions League Final kicked off in Athens I didnt witness the difficulties being faced by many of my fellow Reds as they tried to enter the stadium. I must admit I was on a high after a wonderful afternoon spent bonding with the Olympiakos fans at their stadium in Piraeus, but I dont think that affected my sense of vision or reality and as I strolled happily from the metro to Gate One, not seeing any trouble whatsoever. As a seasoned away traveller I could see the arrangements for ticket checking were woefully inadequate, and I dont wish to minimise the problems but I didnt see any trouble, and only heard about it afterwards. I bumped into my mate John and we were comparing notes on the highlights of our trips to Athens. Both of us had spent a thoroughly enjoyable few days in the Greek capital, looking around the sights, sampling great food, meeting great Reds from all over the world and mingling happily with Milan fans.
Globalization's Gains Come With a Price
Puebla, Mexico - Like millions of other low-wage workers here, Hermenegildo Flores was supposed to benefit from Mexico's decision to open its economy to foreign trade and investment in the 1990s. For a time, he did. As U.S. companies boosted purchases from Mexican factories, Mr. Flores's salary nearly doubled to $68 a week in 2001.
Then foreign competition from places like India, Pakistan and El Salvador intensified: Mr. Flores, who sewed pockets onto blue jeans, says his foreman "would go around shouting, 'If you don't work harder, we are going to shut this plant down and move it to Central America.'" Today, Mr. Flores is unemployed, having accepted a $900 buyout in April after the company switched to new machines.
A decade ago, the globalization of commerce promised to be a boon to low-wage workers in developing nations.
