Someone big and local has to step in, let the the workers leave on time yet kick everyone’s butt on the market. Then everyone will start copying the practices.

No, we just need to stop letting the ultra rich demonize unions. Unions fixed this problem the first the and are the obvious solution again. There's a reason our quasi sweat shops in America fight them so hard.

Relying on cargo culting is probably not sustainable long term. Education and collective action are better tools IMO.

Not every sort of imitation and leading by inspiration is cargo curling.
