Question

Suppose the company that you own outsources the manufacturing of a crucial component of your product to a supplier in a developing country. Later you discover that the supplier manufactures your component under a sweat-shop condition. Although all of its workers are adults, they earn a very low wage and work twelve hours a day, seven days a week. However, you also discover that most of the other factories in the village where the supplier is located have worse working conditions and some even employ child labor. Other than this issue, you are very satisfied with the supplier in terms of quality and price. Will you continue to use the supplier and why?

Answer 1

Explanation:

No, I would not work with that kind of manufacturing unit. As per the ethical and moral standards, we should not accept such suppliers who exploit poor people by making them work for every day with 12 hours a day shifts, upon that the unit also employs child labour which is against the basic human rights.

Unhealthy working condition and lower wages are not acceptable things at any places, at least people deserve working conditions where it's healthy to work and condition where people can work freely.
