Reply #10: current issue Fortune magazine has article about "third shift"

[this_side_up]

where New Balance contracted with Mr Chang in China to produce their shoes. All was well for a while. Then he began producing his version. Or something like that.

They went to court. Years later they asked the court for a ruling. They were told 300K. Asked a year or so later, judge says 100K. Later, 50K. And so on. They lost.
Mr Chang produced another version with his label which looks like the NB label.

anyway, the article talks about how the first and 2nd shifts in China will produce whatever the contract calls for. The 3rd shift then makes another run which is sold
blackmarket or whatever...New Balance doesn't get the money.

Yet, they continue to deal with China,saying they
still make money.
