Sweatshop "miniwage wage"


The amount of money workers at these factories make is exteremly low. It is almost the same as a cup of coffee we pay in the morning. The factories want hard workers and want them to work long hours for little to almost no pay. I say no pay because what could these works do with .33 cents an hour. What could these workers do with a $5.00 pay check. This is the reality to what is going on in the sweatshops. American people pay $40.00, $50.00, or $100.00 for things like sneakers when the people makeing them get pennies for making them. It is unbelivable, to think that people could care more for the profit then the interest in human life. They disregard the feelings or neccessity of humans. They treat the works almost like slaves. Slaves because the work is exhasting and the hours are long and the pay is low. Everything except the low pay makes the workers in sweatshops Slaves. They need the little money earn in the factories but they should in be put in those positions. The people who owe the factories should care more for the people working in the factories, We are all equal. In America the miniwage and hours a work can work is made by the Government or better enforced by the U.S. Government. However in most developing countries the government is to weak or unconcern to enforced their wages, or to set them high enough that the owner of sweatshop would not want to pay. To make sure that they dont leave. It seem like have low wages and no represtation is better than nothing. "The United States had no federal legislation regulating wages and hours until 1938 with the passage of the Fair Labor Standards Act(establishing $.25 as a minimum wage for workers)."
