From the Paper:

"Sweatshops are factories where large corporations pay individuals obscenely low wages (i.e., sometimes as low as pennies per hour) for performing menial labor such as sewing clothing. Although sweatshops are generally located in third world countries, there have been numerous high-profile cases in recent years that have exposed sweatshops in the United States. The main problem with sweatshops is that they are more that just labor abuse; when you find a sweatshop you'll also find social injustice, poverty, discrimination, abuse of women, and environmental damage. In other words, sweatshops are a well-connected problem, with roots deeply ingrained in our cultural, economic, political, and social systems. "
