Manufacturing Misconduct: What Would You Do? Jaime and Catherine looked at each other. Each was thinking, "How do we handle this?" but offered no imme- diate suggestions. Both were midlevel executives with a multinational corporation that manufactured clothing, handbags, and accessories in developing countries, including Guatemala and Honduras. The company is a member of the FLA and takes pride in its commitment to a safe, healthy, and equitable work environment for all employees. Jaime, a native of Mexico, had professional experience in Peru, Chile, and Mexico, Catherine, a native of the United States, spoke fluent Spanish and was being groomed to take international assignments. Two weeks ago, the vice president of Latin American operations called Jaime and Catherine, asking them to take on an internal consulting project. The vice president was concerned about rumors sur- rounding the company's largest manufacturing site in Honduras. This site employed over 1,000 people, the majority of whom worked in low-skilled manufacturing roles. Although no employee had come forward, or used the firm's ethics hotline, the site's regional manager (RM) was concerned about management practices and workplace conditions. Each time the RM visited the site, he sensed that he was not experiencing the daily reality of the manufactur- ing site. So far, he had little proof, but he decided to share his concerns with other executives. Specifically, he was worried about (1) possible intimidation of union members and leaders, (2) discriminatory management tactics, and (3) forced overtime that was not properly compensated. Two weeks later, Jaime and Catherine arrived at the site, tasked with determining whether management practices and workplace conditions were compatible with corporate standards and FLA principles. First, they need to develop a plan for gathering information from employees, including those who were either scared of retaliation or generally mistrusting of corporate management. What would you do
