Many companies and schools in the United States buy their products from factories that have their workers working in horrible conditions. "That is employing over 50,000 workers to work in these conditions" (Jensen, Davidson 279). They have the workers work from 5 A.M. until nighttime inhaling dangerous chemicals and working in temperatures that get as high as 130 degrees. These high temperatures cause heat stress, burns, and injuries to workers. Many of the factories that the United States buys from are in another countries. In these countries they have horrible working conditions. Working in these places called sweatshops should be banned. Sweatshops are "a shop or factory in which employees work long hours at low wages under poor conditions"("sweatshops"). These factories cause problems for their workers later in the worker's life. Occasionally these problems lead to death. Many workers do not get to see a doctor when they are ill. Workers choose to go work to make money rather than see a doctor. Most do not receive regular vaccinations that help their body fight against "smallpox, whooping cough, tetanus, polio, and diphtheria" (Holland 61). "A sweatshop factory brings visions of dangerous, filthy, and cramped conditions"(Wo
School should be the number one priority in the children's life. The employer is only concerned with how much money he can make by how much product he can produce. About 250 million children between the ages five and fourteen work in sweatshops. Child labor promises a future of illiteracy, poverty, and continuing misery"(Freedman 2). "There was a twelve-year-old boy that fell into a spinning machine and the machine tore two of his fingers off" (Freedman 36). Children should be able to go and play like a normal child. Nancy Penaloza a worker that makes clothes in one of the factories says, "I can not ask him a question because I'm afraid he will hit me. They could also make the working conditions better for the work!ers. Money is the only thing that these companies think about. If a whole family were to work from eight in the morning to nine at night, they could make 3168 roses and earn, $1. The more workers they hire, the less the money they are willing to give their workers. The conditions of these factories are not safe for anyone to work in. Since the older siblings get to have schooling, they send the younger children to the factories to work.
