Ethics Ignored in Sweatshop Industry

Although ethics should play a significant role as in missionaries of humanities of society, it does not play a central role in businesses making profits and productivity high. The purpose of business is to survive as a organization by making profits and benefits. To supplement for this purpose, an organizational goal is to be oriented toward creating development itself. They are eager to do so whatever it takes. Even if it violates the moral standards and regulations, in a situations in which importance of improvement is more weighed upon, they may ignore those that hinder their speed toward success.
  For example, in northern Mexico, in the state of Chihwahwa, labor issues are quite severe in terms of ensuring their health issues and work hours and environments. The companies in Mexico make those Mexican labourers work from 8 am to 10 pm. That’s not just 6 more hours of work added than that in Canada, their work life is miserable in sweatshop factories; literally, they are forced not to even dream about making labor unions, work load of the day, highly unsafe working conditions, no rest time longer than 10 minutes, standing up for work all day long and, most importantly, their payment per hour, making three to five dollars a day.
