\"\"<\/a> Sweatshop workers work for long hours under bad working condition for little pay.\u00a0 The author of the article, Louise Kissa, criticizes the employers including big enterprise like Wal-Mart for treating the labours badly.\u00a0 Labour force working in a sweatshop is definitely a social problem that is affecting our economy deeply.\u00a0
\nOur economy growth depends on money circulation.\u00a0 When workers have a low paying job, they could not buy highly priced necessities.\u00a0 This means that Producers would have to lay off some workers to compensate lower income due to decreased demand.\u00a0 As a result, high unemployment rate would occur.\u00a0
\nFurthermore, this article has also pointed out that some NGOs try to help the sweatshop labours by proposing a better working condition and a higher pay. \u00a0Government could raise the minimum wage law and set up social programs providing language classes, and practical training for sweatshop workers to \u201cupgrade\u201d themselves.\u00a0 People should pay more attention to this problem. One day, if one walks into a store, please do not just look at the price tag, but also look at where the produce is made.\u00a0 One should decide if one wants to encourage inhumane employers to hire sweatshop workers by buying their products.<\/p>\n
