The U.S. is relying on other countries, vendors, and manufacturers to export their products. However, with the thousands of people that this process requires, it is easy for them to lose track of all of these manufacturers. That is what big companies such as Walmart and Disney, Inc. have claimed to do. However, they claimed this only after the fire in Bangladesh that killed 112 factory workers.
I personally believe that consumers should be aware of how products are made and workers are treated, and that we should rally for fair trade. Additionally, I believe that the CEOs of large companies should be advocates for fair trade and fair wages instead of turning the other cheek in hopes of making more money.
It is definitely not fair that CEOs of large companies are living the 'good life' with millions of dollars spewing out of their pockets, and the people that work for them are barely scraping by. Especially in this Christmas season, they must advocate for fair wages and support fair trade.
