In this case sweatshops include children working all kinds of hours day and night so that the United States can be fulfilled with all necessary material. The pay that the workers get is very much at a low cost and is not necessary enough for someone to survive. Working in sweatshops can cause physical harm towards one , because there is lack of safety regarding to each worker. The United States as a whole should either stop sweatshops as a whole or give the labors what they need in order to protect themselves and pay themselves so that they can survive. If they can not provide this at all then the United States should close sweatshops down all together and suffer like third countries and even some states that's apart of the United States. According to Laura Macklem, “ They don’t provide safety equipment as simple as dust masks, and pay workers 30 percent below the country’s minimum wage” (Macklem). In addition Vegan Peace states, “The U.S. Department of Labor found that 67% of garment factories in Los Angeles and 63% in New York, violate minimum wage and overtime laws. 98% of garment factories in Los Angeles have workplace health and safety problems serious enough to lead to severe injuries or death (“What can we do “). Even the United States understands that this is not only an problem with foreign countries, but also an problem with in the United States within itself. Its problem knowing that this war countries our going through the disrespect of not having proper equipment and low benefits but it become even a bigger problem when your own country is having the same one if not the similar situation.
