Excerpt: If we are taking part in these sorts of unethical labor practices, and if our involvement in these practices gets out into the open, this situation could become a real disaster from a public relations standpoint.

This statement is false. Susie writes about "unethical labor practices" which she objects to morally. This indicates that Susie finds most subcontracting methods to be "wrong" or "morally suspect". Susie's concern for Delavigne is not only financial, but moral as well.
This is a true statement. Susie writes that cheap labor and exploitation can lead to "class-action suits being brought against the companies". A class-action suit is a legal procedure in which a group of individuals with a claim against a company join together as plaintiffs in a single suit. Susie also writes about "boycotts", referring to the public abstaining from buying or using certain products as an expression of protest.
This statement is true. Susie writes that if Delavigne's subcontracting practices "get into the open", the company will have problems. To "get (out) into the open" is an expression which means to "become known" or to "become public knowledge". Though Susie isn't sure whether Delavigne is using illegal labor practices, one of her concerns is the public's reaction to this possibility.
This statement is false. Susie writes that she "stumbled across" this article. "To stumble across (an object)" is to find it by chance, without looking for it or intending to find it.

1 media agencies: Susie writes about the media, but never to suggest that they are using unethical subcontracting methods.
1 human rights organizations: Human rights organizations are concerned about unethical subcontracting practices, but they do not use them themselves (that would be hypocritical!)
2 low cost: Susie writes about large companies using cheap and "cost-cutting" labor practices to save money. "To cut costs" is to reduce expenses. The article refers to large companies which reduce expenses by using a cheap labor force overseas.
2 expensive: The methods used by companies which outsource are designed to "cut-costs" or "save money", they are the opposite of expensive or costly.
2 ethical : Susie finds the labor practices used by most companies to be "unethical" or morally wrong.
Ejercicio 3

OILS is an independent organization which acknowledges companies using legal labor practices.
an independent organization which acknowledges companies using legal labor practices: OILS "lists and labels subcontracting companies which meet all international human rights and labor standards". This means that the organization certifies and provides an index of companies which use legal and ethical labor practices.
