| Dear :________
I have been a consumer of your products for many years. However, I am concerned with the manufacturing conditions of these goods. I do not want to buy products that exploit other people through inhumane working conditions, indecent wages, and collective bargaining restrictions. I urge you to take responsibility for the conditions under which your products--and profits--are made. Be accountable to consumers for these practices through product information and labeling. Consumers have a right to know the truth about the goods they purchase from you. Yours toward ethical consumerism, |
