Missing the point

Likins versus SAS: the battle has become a never-ending episode of Celebrity Death Match.

After over a year and a half of verbal and written bickering, the two parties must be ready to strangle each other. But as they struggle on, the cause for which both are fighting- fair labor conditions for foreign workers producing UA products - lingers on the sidelines.

No factories are being monitored.

Right now the UA belongs to two monitoring organizations, the Worker Rights Consortium and the Fair Labor Association. But no one is getting the job done. No matter how much SAS and Likins have struggled, foreign workers have yet to be ensured a group of monitors that will protect their rights.

If WRC monitors the factories, they will not even be allowed into the factories and will have to perform "exit poll" monitoring.
