9 months agoCompanies only have the moral compass of their customers. If using slave labour or sweatshops doesn’t scare away customers, then they’ll continue to use them. Either us the consumers will have to actually put our money where our mouth is, or (more likely) we’ll have to get governments to force companies to adhere to basic human rights in their supply chains and finished products to be allowed to sell merchandise in their country.
People still buy from EA, Blizzard, nestle, Nike, anything from the ccp etc etc. So we’re either misinformed or apathetic to these working conditions
Oh absolutely agree. I think we should try and be ethical consumers (if there is such a thing.) But the only way to change things is to vote for people who will punish cuntish behaviour
