The real price

by admin

People love shopping everything from clothes to groceries at the lowest price possible. Chains like Walmart and H&M are some the most successful, but what is the real price of having such low-price chains?

Allison Bullen talks about the ethical problem Walmart had where many Walmart employees in the States stepped forward saying they were being treated unethically. The employees said there were discrimination, very low pay and bad working hours in their workforce. The employees took action and the case got publicity that could damage Walmart’s reputation, pressuring Walmart to change their unethical behavior.

H&M got a lot of publicity for the circumstances their workers had to work in at their factories. This is not uncommon in the clothing industry, but both H&M and Walmart are big companies that should take more responsibility of the working environment and how their employees are treated.
