Sweatshop
  • According to Wikipedia Encyclopedia a sweatshop
    is a working environment with very difficult or
    dangerous conditions, usually where the workers
    have few rights or ways to address their
    situation. This can include exposure to harmful
    materials, hazardous situations, extreme
    temperatures, or abuse from employers. Sweatshop
    workers are often forced to work long hours for
    little or no pay, regardless of any laws
    mandating overtime pay or a minimum wage. Child
    labor laws may also be violated.
