    Moving production abroad, or even just importing finished goods from overseas, has grown out of a desire for cheaper goods.

    We cannot stop imported goods - clothes, electrical goods or whatever, no matter how ethical we may feel it to be; the vast majority of any home-made finished items will be far more expensive than imported goods, so it may well be a non-starter.

    It may (does) sound wonderful, but paying employees a living/minimum wage here, compared to what employees would earn in say China, India or anywhere else in the sweat-shops of asia, would be too great for it ti be a success.

    The vast majority of people do not have ethics when it comes to buying - if they don't see the conditions under which those employees work, they won't think about it, just how much money do they have in their purse/wallet.
