Movement of industry: from Manchester to South Asia – the problematic of ethical practices?

As previously examined their has been a decline in the textile trade in Manchester due to the cheaper labour and manufacturing costs in South Asia. These competitive prices have increased practices in unjust and unethical practices being carried out within textile industries in Manchester. With big companies offering clothing and textiles at very low prices people working in textile factories are having to feel the repercussions of throwaway fashion and are being exploited for our fashion retail consumption.
