Unethical practices of transnational corporations

  • Illegal multinational commerce
  • Corruption by international enterprises
  • Corporate intimidation
  • Social irresponsibility of transnational businesses

Incidence

Move production to countries and localities where they can pay less than a living wage or use the threat of moving jobs to break up labor unions and bargain down wages. Gains from productive activity are thus shifted from working people to money people. Furthermore, the stress of attempt ing to maintain self and family on insecure jobs paying less than a family wage results in family breakdown and violence and depletes the social capital of society.
