1. What ethical issues faced by MNC's in their treatment of foreign workers could bringallegations of misconduct in their operation?

The violation of fundamental human rights of ‘sweatshop’ workers

• Employinig child labor
• Using workers overtime
• Paying unfair salaries
• Treating inhumanly with workers
• Providing por working condition for the employees
• Discrimination with women
• Unfair business with minorities such as older worker, religious minorities
• Unlawful business practice

1. Would the use of the third party independent contractors insulate MNC's from being attacked? Would that practice offer MNC's a good defensive shield against charges of abuse of “their employees”?

Human rights issues is one of the most important issues in this globalization time  There aren’t  universal or (nternational ) Standard of what is right or wrong because of the cultural differences among the countries.

When a business organization conducts business in another country, they are trying to take advantage of that country, The reason for an organizationto do business beyond the border is to máximize their profits, sometimes some MNC does offshore or outsourcing to get the job done. So some MNC goes to the third world country to gain economies of scale and achieve lower costs

Yes, this practice would offer MNCs a good defensive shield against charges of abuses of  their employees.

1. Do you think that statements by companies that describe good social and moral conduct in the treatment of their workers are parto f the image those companies creates and, therefore, ¿are part of their advertising message? Do consumers judge companies and base their perceptions of corporate behavior and values? Is the historic “made in” question now begin replaced by a “made by” inquiry?

ome MNC provide to the public about their good social and moral conduct in the treatment of their workers are part of their advertising message. For example After the child labor incident Nike spends billions of dollar to regain their reputation. They also did some CSR stuff to get rid of the negativity and critics

 We do not believe that consumers, they can judge between their base and their decision on their perception of corporate behavior and values. There are some people who might think twice before purchasing a product, but they think how the produt is made

In Nike's case we can see even though how this Enterprise had negative issues but they dindn't go down their profits

The historic "made in " in question now is being replaced by a "made by" inquiry. This is the globalization time. Big company produce their product through the third party to get the cost advantage.
