How do you think these large companies like Nike, Apple, and Disney could change their manufacturing and marketing strategies, so they did not have to go overseas to find workers?
Personally, I think that these corporations have enough money from their stocks and customers as it is and that they do not have an excuse for letting the manufacturers they use under pay workers and make them work in bad, unhealthy and unethical environments. Also because of how successful these corporations are, I think that they could pretty easily move their factories into the United States or away from Foxconn (in Apples case). Apple's products are already highly priced, so I don't think that they should raise their prices, but rather find a new company to do their manufacturing for them instead of Foxconn. This could be in the United States or overseas, but the manufacturing company would have to be reliable and rightly treat their workers. But it could be hard for Apple itself to monitor the working conditions, wages, etc of the workers in the factory as the factory would be owned by a manufacturer, and not necessarily by Apple.
How could corporations like Apple and Nike ensure that their manufacturers are treating their employees ethically?
