Many products we buy from developing countries are manufactured or grown by workers whose rights are being ignored. Everyday products are commonly made by workers who were forced to work overtime, were exposed to hazardous chemicals, or dangerous machinery, and not paid minimum wage Why should U.S. companies care?

 Need to compete with competition  Creating jobs for people  Creating lower cost items for the U.S. consumer  Inhumane conditions  Poorly treated workers typically make poor- quality goods  Businesses that respect labor rights put more money is workers hands

 Forever 21  Gap  Nike  Wal-Mart  DKNY  Kathy Lee Gifford  Disney

 The Body Shop  Tom’s Shoes  American Apparel  Patagonia

 While some American companies are trying to make a difference, is it worth it? - Nike  Oversea manufactures also need to have regulations
