Should companies like Gap attempt to get their suppliers to pay more than the local industry standard when it is insufficient to live on? Should they pay wages in the Third World that are equivalent to US wages? Should they provide the same level of medical benefits that are provided in the US? The same levels of work place safety? The international standards as set by the United Nations state: “Wages and benefits paid for a standard working week should meet at least legal or industry minimum

CHAPTER TEN The following morning‚ I try on my tennis clothes. I glance in the bedroom mirror. Yuck. The skirt is too short‚ and the top fits snug. I grab my racket and swing. Not bad. At least‚ Michael knew which racket was right for me. I sit on the bed to check my emails when I notice several texts. One if from Zack‚ the art director‚ who tells me that Simon’s driving him crazy. And that my office is ready‚ down the hall from his. I reply. “Chill if possible. See you on Monday.” The second

LABOUR RELATIONS PART A After taking the questionnaire‚ I discovered that the survey thought I was a collaborative type. This does not surprise me at all because I have always been collaborative. Rather than face challenges as individuals‚ working alone on fixing huge problems‚ I would rather be working as a group‚ taking ideas from others whilst providing my own.

These factories are becoming more and more systematic‚ with no rights at all given to the children. At what expenses would these children pay if we passed the bill stating‚ “United States will no longer

To: Marianne Barner (Business Area Manager for Carpets) From: Alyssa Fukumoto Date: 9/16/2014 Re: IKEA Global Sourcing Challenge Marianne‚ I understand IKEA encountered an issue with Rangan Exports‚ one of IKEA’s major suppliers‚ being exposed as using child labor.

The German television that aired the documentary did so in attempts to accuse child labor exploitation and tarnish the brand’s reputation

Have you ever questioned where your clothes are coming from or who your coffee was picked by? Have you ever considered if the cotton from your garments was picked by a six-year-old child being paid one US dollar each day doing hard labour? Or the cup of coffee you enjoy so much in the morning - were the beans were harvested by a minor? Abuse of child labor from international corporations should not be supported. Human life and dignity should be our greatest value and the protection of children are

coaches are highly appreciated‚ no one might acknowledge the great contribution of people like Janu Akther‚ a 22-year-old man who works in sweatshops in Bangladesh to produce American collegiate apparel―an indispensable part of the game. An $18 baseball cap can be a joy of many American people to wear but a dirty exploitation device in Akther’s mind.

I completely agree with this statement because these actions demonstrate to workers that they are treated fairly and any concerns they may have are listened to and dealt within an appropriate manner. I think constructive‚ two-way communication builds an environment of trust and strengthens the relationships between the supervisors and employees. As long as employees feel that their voice is being heard and the appropriate action is being taken‚ then they should feel good about the fact that their
