case study

Walmart caught using child labour in Bangladesh at the end of 2005, the Radio Canada programme Zone Libre made public the news that Walmart was using child labour at two factories in Bangladesh. Children aged 10-14 years old were found to be working in the factories for less than $50 a month making products of the Walmart brand for export to Canada. Referring to Walmart's policy at that time consisting of cutting ties with suppliers when violations occurred, the NGO Maquila Solidarity Network said that 'cutting and running is the worst possible response to reports of child labour or other sweatshop abuses. Nevertheless, Walmart ceased business with the two factories immediately. Walmart alleges that despite its effort to inspect all factories, it is difficult to enforce its own corporate code of conduct with thousands of subcontractors around the world.
