Globalisation: When fashion kills

[znikacz]

Good God...

Companies like Tesco, which import cheap items are largely to blame for this problem (and many other problems).

An importer of cheap items has a distinct price advantage at the beginning of the cheap import trend.

As other companies cotton on to the trend, manufacturing is destroyed in the home country.

There is very little manufacturing in England or America, now.

Americans are hypocrites!

sad, but it is FUBAR.

i came across this issue in 1995 in school, where i found the condition of polishing metals in india, where children where suffering from lack of protective equip.

so the solution was to not buy those products, switching the cause of death from poison to starvation.

sad.

the key is to preasure for change in conditions, not in boycott.

cheers
