No, not at all. Like the other article linked by nodata, companies are moving from China to Vietnam because its cheaper. Seems a little greedy.
I wonder what happens when they run out of countries to move to.

Which actually benefits us as the consumer. Would you prefer a less greedy corporation that goes where the most expensive labor is which then increases the cost of production which then increases the cost of the products you buy from said company?
Greed is what keeps prices low, and competition high.

There was a wonderful Greenpeace poster from back in the 80s which had these words:
"When the last tree is cut, the last river poisoned, and the last fish dead, we will discover that we can't eat money."
It wasn't about workers' rights, but something along those lines seems to fit.

Except it's not. China has reached the stage in economic development that people are moving to higher skilled and higher paying jobs. Infrastructure in Vietnam has improved to the extent that is ready for large manufacturing plants.
While companies are saving by moving manufacturing plants, many people (millions) in Vietnam are going to experience higher standard of living. I say it's a win win.
