Well using child labour in their factories would be the reason. But I'm not sure how culpable they are in this particular case. Maybe they don't own the factories and the factories cover up what they're up to? Muppetfilter might know more.
> Objecting to a company simply because it's big doesn't make any sense at all but it's a line that gets trotted out far to often, lumping all 'corporations' and 'multinationals' into the same evil category with little or no apparent thought.
Lots of problems inherent with big corporations, like having the power to put smaller companies out of business for starters, being legally bound to maximize profits for the shareholders - which will likely lead to poorer practices elsewhere.
