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

Since the employer's main objective is to sell as much of the product as they can, the factories hire many people to get more of their product produced. The more workers they hire, the less the money they are willing to give their workers. Many workers work at the factory for money that does not even pay for daily living expenses. Even if the worker works over time, he or she probably will not get any extra money. These workers are in small cramped rooms to make whatever product is necessary at that moment. The employers do not care if an employee is sick. The worker must work no matter what the circumstances is. The employer is only concerned with how much money he can make by how much product he can produce.

A lot of college and universities buy their sweatshirts, baseball caps, T-shirts, jackets, and jerseys with their logo on it, from these kinds of factories. The college or university pays as much as $1.50, for a $19.50 baseball cap. The workers that produced that cap will only earn about eight cents. One student said, "we were as shocked as you to find out that baseball caps with our schools' logo were made in a sweatshop"(Mandle 93).

Children are supposed to be getting an education. By working in these factories, many children do not get the chance to get one. School should be the number one priority in the children's life. Education helps the children get a better life when they grow up, but by working in factories, they cannot have that kind of life. Working in these factories prevents children from getting a fair chance in life. Going to school helps children get into college and get a good job. "Long hours of factory work deprives children of an education and robbed them for a chance of a better future. Child labor promises a future of illiteracy, poverty, and continuing misery"(Freedman 2). In Latin America a "child's right to schooling is related to birth order...older siblings receive preference for schooling"(Williams 13). Since the older siblings get to have schooling, they send the younger children to the factories to work. The situation should be the other way around. Young children are the ones t!

e respect for their workers, but they do not. These workers risk their life for just pennies a day. The owners could at least make sure the conditions are safe for anyone to work in. They should also make sure that when an accident occurs that it will not occur again.
