Just like with slavery in the south-Asian seafood-for-pet-foods and textile manufacturing industries, major Western corporations try to hide their supply-chain evils behind their local suppliers.
The only way I see this stopping is for those corporations to know their supply chain all the way to origins, and the only way I see that happening is consumer pressure, not local governmental enforcement.
- skybrian 11y agoSeems like that's relying on the corporations to police this and then blaming the cops for not catching every violation. I know it's "the buck stops here" and all, but it might be a bit unfair to expect perfection when it comes to figuring out what their suppliers' supplier's suppliers are actively trying to hide from them. Of course, inadequately funding the investigators or telling them not to try too hard would also be a bad thing - if someone can show that's what they're doing.
