Sweatshops
Overall, I am a supporter of sweatshops. If the people that worked there didn't have that job then they would not be able to support their families and would most likely die of starvation. There are however, a lot of things I do not support about sweatshops, such as, the long hours and extremely low wages. I think that it is a good idea in retrospect but is not being carried out appropriately. Sweatshop workers are often forced to work long hours for little or no pay, regardless of any laws mandating overtime pay or a minimum (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweatshop). Another thing I do not support is the fact that there is no job security. If a worker gets sick one day after never missing a day, they are replaced immediately with no questions asked.
