Answer & Explanation:A textile manufacturer is closing its North Carolina plant and moving the production of its products to a developing nation
in Southeast Asia. The primary reason for the move is the lower labor cost that the organization can enjoy in the new
location.
Proponents of the decision laud the move as a means to save the organization by taking advantage of the free
market and finding cheaper methods of producing the company’s goods.
Opponents of the decision state that a breach of trust existed between the company and the loyal employees in
the North Carolina facility. Additionally, opponents cite recent findings that contractors in the Southeast Asia
region where the company is moving have been cited for utilizing child labor and failing to provide working
conditions equivalent to those in the United States.
Officials in the Southeast Asia region have answered the criticisms of the use of child labor by pointing out that
oftentimes children are the only individuals in a family who are capable of working, and to deny them that
opportunity would create greater hardship on the already desperately poor population.
