SWEATSHOP LABOR COMPANIES Sweat shop labor for businesses are around the world. Companies such as Nike, Adidas and Walmart are some of the companies that are going to be written about for this paper. Is it unethical to hire low paid workers in different countries to hire as sweatshop labor? Meaning that they have bad working conditions and can be paid lower wages.

They could also help the children with school and then the older children in the afternoon after school could work for Walmart.
