child labor
Do you agree that factories overseas such as: Nike, Gap, and Levis hire children?
Over the past ten years, U.S. government statistics show a marked rise in child labor violations. In sweatshops, farm fields, and fast-food outlets, kids are being exploited and exposed to dangers. I disagree that these factories hire children because they are treated like labor slaves, they are losing the opportunity to be educated, and they work in barbaric conditions.

They work for minimum wages or less, and they have three ten-minute day break. The film “Working women of World” focus on women and children who are exploited working by Levis & Straus Company. Employers of this company prefer to hire children between 14-15 years old because they produce more than adults. Also, the film shows how they are not allowed going to the bathroom many times. Each work station has a monitor machine that controls the times that worker go to the bathroom. Also, it controls when worker stop his job because he has not more material to work. Every time worker stops working for any circumstance, he should press a button that is located on the monitor. The purpose of this machine is control the level of productivity of workers. This film is a proof that children who work for this company are considered slaves of the job because they work more eight hours per day and, they do not receive vacations neither sick days.
The education is an important factor to children, but it has lost importance because children are dedicating most of their time working that going to school. According the law, children should not be permitted to work the equivalent of an adult workday after school. A survey of high school seniors found that nearly one=third of boys and one-quarter of the girls worked more than twenty hours a week. It is
