JCCS Academic Language Assessment Week 35 - Sweatshops

Are sweatshops a violation of people's human rights? Yes, they are. I and other people feel this way because in a sweatshop people are working long hours for little pay and that is extremely unfair. I'm sure there is no CONTRACT out there that any one person would sign to work in a place like that and be stripped of their dignity. Also, in a sweatshop the workers there aren't able to APPLY the skills they've learned throughout their life to the work they do. What are they gaining from this? To add onto that the employees there are putting in hard LABOR and getting nothing but pocket change in return. Sweatshops should be illegal unless the owners change their rules and make it a nice and rewarding environment for their colleagues to be in.
