Sweatshops jobs can be different in different country. For example, picture yourself from a poor country working in the U.S. with so much bills hang heavy on your mind and the work condition is bad, so it'll be hard to defend yourself because you would be worry about getting fired. In fact, that happened a lot in U.S.
I experienced sweatshops jobs in U.S. while worked for those employers: Walgreens in Naples, Florida; Walmart located in Betherl Rd Columbus,Ohio; Kroger in downtown Columbus,Ohio; etc..
Back then when I was working those (sweatshops) jobs in U.S., I knew the way they treated people were horrible and wrong, but I did not know anything about human rights. I began interested in human rights study last year in April, 2009.
I remember working there where I felt that I have been constantly menacing, stalking, and being watching, and other kind related activity where I couldn't find anyone or anywhere to turn to complaint because the places where I could go for help are among those people who are doing that to me. It's like a ring of conspiracy against those whose view and beliefs are different from them and they would do just about anything to keep those people like me under their close watch.
Usually, they know their domestic laws are cover for them, because when I tried, I always face with the same questions: " Do you have prove?".." Do you see them and be able to touch them?"; "Do they touch you or say anything bad to you?"
Of course, other countries have their own sweatshops also in their own way, but at least the people who are victims of sweatshops probably do not have to worry about monthly bills to pay which seems to be a good thing. But in U.S. it's horrible that you making more money but your your monthly bills probably close to your monthly income.
Therefore, sweatshops in U.S. can also be one of the worst.
Good Job! Thanks for posting!
