Description
Summary:This report addresses the difficult, messy & thoroughly modern dilemma about how much responsibility U.S. corporations can & should take for wages & working conditions in factories in developing countries that make their merchandise for sale around the world. This study is a crucial aid to understanding the debate over the extent-& limits-of corporate responsibility for the conditions of their third world factories & supplier factories. The study examines how concern over global sweatshops has emerged as a major public policy issue & how mulitnational firms are responding, with special focus on the impact & implementation of corporate codes of conduct.
