Walmart developed a Code of Conduct for its foreign suppliers. These standards require foreign suppliers to comply

Question:

Walmart developed a Code of Conduct for its foreign suppliers. These standards require foreign suppliers to comply with local laws and local industry working conditions, and gave Walmart power to make on-site inspections of production facilities and cancel contracts with suppliers who did not live up to these conditions. A group of foreign workers sued Walmart, alleging that their employer regularly violated the standards and Walmart did not investigate conditions at the plants nor enforce the standards when they knew they were being violated. The trial court found in favor of Walmart, stating that the workers were not third-party beneficiaries under the contract and therefore had no basis for suing Walmart. How do you think the appellate court ruled, and why?
