It depends. If the company simply redistributes its existing resources to employees more fairly or implement other policies that don’t have a ripple effect down the supply chain, the exploitation stays the same for poorer countries. If the company needs to extract more from the global poor to improve your conditions - e.g. reducing wages in some foreign call center so you can fewer hours - then it harms the global poor.
Short of concurrent revolutions happening right at this second or committing suicide, the only option left is to improve your working conditions no matter what. This is why solidarity is important. When organizing, you have to network with other orgs especially those with international presence or connections which may mean involving orgs that don’t have anything to do with your industry or even labor related. Unions have refused to work or ship weapons in other countries before. However there are also organizations that seek to improve their own workers and indifferent or actively prevent anything else from affecting their benefits
