But perhaps a middle way? Perhaps we should smear these companies until their profits are damaged sufficiently for them to rethink their stance, but not enough that they actually have to start laying workers off. Difficult, though, I agree. Very true - precisely the point Jamie Whyte makes. But perhaps a middle way?

I think the author has a valid point. Whether you buy clothes from "unethical" suppliers or not is everyones individual choice. I'm sick of people getting on their high horse and lecturing the majority of students who don't really care. Yes, in an ideal world every country would have the £5.35 minimum wage, but unfortunately they dont. If companies which use cheaper 3rd world labour go under what are those who work for them going to do? If there were other places for these people to earn a living they would already be doing it. Now exploitation and child labour are not what anyone wants to be the case but is forcing the only employer in these areas out of business the way to change things? Shockingly immoral?
