1Sweatshop
- 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.
