Indian textile exporters are seeking new buyers in Europe and offering discounts to existing U.S. customers to cushion the blow from steep U.S. tariffs of as much as 50%, industry executives said.
I wrote my thesis on Nike’s unethical practices. I knew what happened in Pakistan and its just as bad in India (predictably).
All these fucking corporations need to be made to own and operate their own factories.
They outsource to other companies who are unbelievably abusive. I could link NGO researches if anyone wants.
This means they then take no accountability for anything.
From Uyghur Muslims in labour and reeducation camps to mass faintings in Indonesia and rape and sexual assault EVERYWHERE. Not paying labour for months in the pandemic. I actually remember it being years.
They don’t necessarily need to own and operate their own factories imho, but we need transparent supply chains and laws to hold the brands accountable what happens in these supply chains. China is likely the country most opposing to such transparent supply chains, India is another one.
It is impossible to do so I tell you. They threaten to pack bags and leave if you dare take any action against them.
No government can control corpos. Hell they were using ‘tax saving methods’ that hurt the US, were in the panama papers. Also part of a dodgy scheme in the Netherlands.
I could go in detail but i can assure you that it is impossible to do so your way.
