A textile manufacturer
is closing and moving the production of products overseas. the primary
reason for the move is to lower labor costs that the organization can enjoy in
the new location.

proponents of the
decision laud the move because it will save the organization by taking
advantage of free market and cheaper methods of producing goods

opponents stat that a
breach of trust existed b/w the company and employees and that breach will occur
due to the decision. also, opponents cite recent findings that contractors
overseas have been cited for using child labor and failing to provide good
working conditions.

Asia (where they are moving) have answered the criticism of the use of child
labor by point out that oftentimes children are only individuals of family who can
work and to deny them that right would create hardship.
