Sweatshops in china

China is where most Ameican metrial things are made, china holds lots of sweatshops. The factory in have 12,and 13 hours work hours and .33 cents pay per hour. This most be the worst condition in a sweatshop. Its like the chinese government does not care for their people. It doesnt matter to them the wrong in what they due. China has been observed alot by labor watchers. "On December 15, 2005 China Labor Watch and the National Labor Committee released two reports on Wal-Mart factories in Southern China. One factory manufactures stationary, such as notebooks and holiday cards. The other produces toys, such as battery-operated trucks (see picture above). In both factories workers receive dismal wages, are cramped into hot dormitories and work exhausting hours at an unbelievably fast pace. Workers are working up to thirteen hours a day, six to seven days a week." The workers work exhausting hour without respentation. They do not have a union or a group whom speakers out for their needs,the works do not have any insuarce, or benefits. The worst thing in my opinion is thats no one seems to care for thier needs. Its is another expenice for the factory owners, and of course the number one thing on thier minds is max. profit. "China has a single trade union system organized through the All-China Federation of Trade Unions (ACFTU). It is well-known that China does not comply with ILO Convention No.87 (Freedom of Association and protection of the Right to Organize), nor Convention No.98 (Right to Organize and Collective Bargaining). It has not ratified those Conventions, mainly because China does not enable independent unions to be formed."

Sweatshop conditions

When you think of sweatshops you think of conditions that are bad, dangerous, cramped, hot, unhealthy. When sweatshops are even worst than you may be thinking already. The things that happen there are worst then anything we have ever experinced. Its like being traped and enslaved. They only way the people there could eat is by working in them, but the work they do is bad. The money is not good, for the amount of work being done."Sweatshops are work environments that possess three major characteristics—long hours, low pay, and unsafe or unhealthy working conditions. Sweatshops have been a factor in the production of goods around the world for centuries, but the globalization of business has led increasing numbers of major corporations to take advantage of low-cost sweatshop labor in developing countries. Recent examples of sweatshop conditions in the garment industry have caused an international outcry by labor leaders, activists, and government officials. Although manufacturers tend to deny it, sweatshops still exist, even in the United States." This is done by most of the command companies in the U.S.A. Most of the poducts we buy are made out of the long hours and low pay someone else in the world made. The conditions in sweatshops are worst than anything you could image in the U.S. The lowest paying job could not compare, or the dirty jobs.

Child Labor in SweatShops

CHILD LABOR IN SWEATSHOPS is one the biggest problem, child that should be in school are slaveing in this sweat shops. Children should only beable to work short hours, so they have time to do other things. However in these shops child are use as tools. This could cause big problem in thier lives. "The International Labor Organization (ILO) has estimated that 250 million children between the ages of five and fourteen work in developing countries. 61% in Asia, 32% in Africa and 7% in Latin America. Many of these children are forced to work. They are denied an education and a normal childhood. Some are confined and beaten. Some are denied the right to leave the workplace and go home to their families. Some are even abducted and forced to work." Children are our future in conditions like that how could they grow to be anything. To force a child to work is the biggest problem with sweatshops. They take everything away from them and give them nothing, maybe a few pennies for their long hours and hard work. In the developing countries that these kids are from the fact is they need to work to help the family. They dont care how much they make. Thats the only thing they could get, thats why most people working in other countries should have more apprecation for their jobs, and childhood. Children working the sweatshops make thing such as Shoes, Clothing, Rugs, Toys, Chocolate, Bananas, Coffee, etc.
