Hi!
We've all heard about bad working conditions in some Chinese factories. You know: 13 hours shifts, children employees, crowded dorms in the factory, suicides, controlled "free" time ...
Is it something you take into account when you choose your manufacturer? Can importing from China be unethical?
I think some people on this forum have visited their supplier's factory, is checking that employees are "humanly" treated a goal of the trip? (I guess they won't advertise their bad practices on their Alibaba listing)
PS: I'm not pointing fingers. Just curious about your opinion.
