In response to Haley Bannon:
Haley Bannon posed the question "Is it unethical for us to be supporting these companies knowing the prices they are paying to hard working employees?"
I do believe that this is unethical to have such a difference in the
cost of a product to what the product is sold for. Not that this is an
excuse for what the corporations are doing but the economies of scale
are probably different in those countries. This does not account for the
poor conditions in which the workers there are possibly subjected to.
It ties in with corporate social responsibility; both at the level that
the corporations are not supporting the economy which their customers
reside in and are not really improving the area around where the
outsourced factories are. Do you think that corporate responsibility
should extend to the community where the outsourced work is?
