There is no way to describe the how bad of a working environment it is inside a
sweatshop. I believe sweatshops should be banned. Many sweatshops across the world
lack the safety requirements, many workers are under paid and profit is largely given to
the owner and not to the hard working workers at the sweatshops.
Sweatshops should be banned because many of the sweatshops lack safety
requirements. It is scary knowing that you have to go work and that your life is a risk
due to the company not taking proper safety precautions .For example, In Rena Plaza
in Bangladesh about 1100 people were killed April 24/ 2013 inside a sweatshop because
machinery was too heavy for building to hold and due to the lack of safety the machinery
that was on the top floor came done killing and leaving many workers injured. If
inspection would have been done and managers would have checked that it was a safe to
work , these type of incident could have been prevented.
Another reason why sweatshops should be banned is because the workers are
under paid. People that work in sweatshops have the lowest wages in the world. For
example in some sweatshops in Bangladesh and China, workers can make as little as $45
dollars a month. Up to about $1,940 per year. Considering how evolution and technology Martinez 2
has advanced, it’s appalling that there are still people working in these types of
conditions.
Finally, profit is largely given to the owner/ manager of the company and not to
the workers that have to go and work in very poor conditions. For example
sweatshops in Bangladesh will sell their product for $4.45each and then at the retail store
it will be sold for $40.Garments are made for as little as one tenth of what they are sold
for. The profit that
