I'd expect workers round the world to have the same relative standard of living for doing the same work - a pipedream though, I admit.

No, I agree with you, but the important phrase in your message is "relative standard of living" - ie relative to the norm in that country. One would expect a factory to pay comparable wages to other factories doing similar work in that country. Labour costs do of course vary dramatically across the world.
