For a second, notice the clothes you are wearing right now. Have you ever considered where they came from. Not necessarily the country, but what conditions the workers are exposed to? Brands like Nike are one of many that mass produce their products overseas to significantly reduce the cost of manufacturing but at the expense of the sweatshop workers in those countries.
Sweatshops, as defined by the US Department of Labor, as a factory that violates 2 or more labor laws. So the question is whether it is ethical for a US based company to take advantage of additional profits from manufacturing their products out of sweatshops in countries that have significantly less rigid labor laws than the US?
