• They exploit local workers so as to maximize their profits.
• They hire cheap labor in “developing” countries.
• They also discourage trade union.

• If the labor condition is unfavorable, they simply move their factory to the next place.
• E.g. “Nike” in 1990s moved its factories from the US to Korea to Indonesia to Vietnam in
