Here an European Sweat Shop live frm Canton China: workers to cut this massive log with an old blunt blade;
Quote Wikipedia:
"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.
Though often associated with LEDCs (Less Economically Developed Countries, many people working in primary employment, low levels of technology), sweatshops can exist in any country. Sweatshops have existed in several cultures, including Early American culture beginning in the 1850s. Sweatshops can produce many different goods, from clothing to furniture.
Meanwhile, defenders of sweatshops, such as Paul Krugman[1] and Johan Norberg[2], claim that people choose to work in sweatshops because the sweatshops offer them substantially higher wages and better working conditions compared to their previous jobs of manual farm labor, and that sweatshops are an early step in the process of technological and economic development whereby a poor country turns itself into a rich country."
What you wont se in the video is how they work or 12 hours 7 days a week; how they dont have work protection; how nobody cares for their age or health.
You wont see how they are not payed a cent when they suffer injury during work.
