Sweatshop Blues [ethical business and Levi jeans]
Describes current practice of Levi Strauss to move production to different countries according to labour regulations and implementation of their 1992 Code of Conduct. According to the report, Levi has developed a flag-ship ethical practice in the US, with the consequence of job losses for 6400 workers in the US and shifts in their sub-contracting policies both in the US and in developing countries (in Asia and Latin America). The latest plan is to start business in China, where conditions are difficult to follow up.
