The Evil Behind The Clothes That You Wear

The issue is sweatshops as a whole. The things with sweatshops you have to have a high school diploma to get a job, but a lot of people don’t have high school diplomas so settle for sweatshops. Sweatshops take up full advantages of labor, low income,  and physical injuries. The things the United States should do to solve this issue is have more jobs opportunities for those who don’t have a high school diploma, increase their income, decrease the physical injuries.According to Carl Shelton a 48 year old woman , has experienced working inside sweatshops as a labor, who has had the bad end of the stick by experiencing low income having extreme physical issues and treated more like a slave than a human.Come home exhausted, her hands swollen from pushing stiff fabric past a moving needle. She had to work fast to meet quotas kept by a timekeeper, and if she slowed down or had to redo a seam, her hourly income dropped to the base rate, which usually hovered around minimum wage. Besides the low pay, the job gave her back pain from hunching over old sewing machines held together with spare parts and electrical tape(Boal).These are real life stories that people have/experience on a day to day basis. Someone has finally decided to speak up. The way people have been treated is very unfair and unacceptable. When does slavery stop in many cases. By paying lowkey income and treating these people like they are absolutly nothing is slavery it’s just not picking cotton in fields all day long and getting beating. According to Viederman , sweatshops are not bad they just have poor pay and poor quality work. Poorly treated workers typically make poor-quality goods, but U.S. companies that aren’t careful about sweatshops could face the costly job of reputation repair if a watchdog group links their brands to workplace abuses. Furthermore, desirable employees want to work for companies whose values they share, just as consumers want to buy from companies that put values into practice (Viederman). This describes how sweatshops can be good and how they have a positive but an negative affect at the same time.
