Goal The purpose of this discussion is to evaluate global employment practices and moral obligations of international businesses. Instructions Since the 19805. the US apparel manufacturing industry has moved to Southeast Asian countries to take advantage of low cost of labor. The American consumers are enjoying the cheap apparel made in these countries, however this benet comes with a cost to the people who work in these textile factories. The collapse of the Bangladesh textile factory that caused the death of over a thousand people in 2013 made a huge echo in the western world. In this discussion forum, we want to take a deeper look at the ethical issues in the global labor markets.
