Legally, no. When you are in the realm of International business you are basically in an area of chaos, where no one actually rules. You can set standards in your own particular country and many countries do. For example, Wal-Mart in Canada has had to adjust to many differences, including the fact that there are government agencies to check that employees are being treated properly. And they have run afoul of the government in regards to treatment of unions. You can decide how they act in your own country, but you can't determine how they act outside of it.

We have the right to expect the products and services that are sold in our country to meet our standards, but I'm not in favor of this trend to boycott products because of the working conditions overseas.
