A Utilitarian would say that companies that contract sweatshops would need to think about net output or overall happiness. The misery of the sweatshop workers would be weighed against the company that sells the goods and the consumer of the goods. We would also have to take into consideration that the sweatshop workers only chance of employment of supporting a family is through work in a sweatshop. This would mean a given amount of happiness for the sweatshop worker as well, adding to overall happiness. If there are more individuals being provided with happiness, or pleasure, through the creation of the goods through sweatshops rather than being harmed by the conditions of the job, a Utilitarian would say it is a just verification. A Utilitarian would say that if a fewer number of people are being harmed then there is nothing to be rationalized in
