consumers crave bargain clothes including college/university logo products which for many years have been produced by foreign sweatshops. The apparel business involves hundreds of thousands of factories in widely disparate economies.
But students want more! Student groups from over 100 colleges have demanded that a rigorous monitoring plan be instituted where companies publicly disclose the location of their foreign factories so human rights and labor groups can monitor so-called living wages. Public pressure may force some companies to voluntarily comply, yet consumers' desire for bargain goods means companies still face fierce competitive pressures.
- If the anti-sweat movement raises prices and production costs, then global market-share for companies will fall.
- Which is more desirable, a more livable wage or more jobs?
