A sweatshop is a working environment that consists of very dangerous working conditions. When you work at a sweatshop you are usually offered few or no rights. When working in a sweatshop you are forced to work long hours for little or no pay. The laws of overtime or minimum wage serves no justice when working in a sweatshop. Statistics say that 90% of sweatshop workers are usually women.
Poor working environments at sweatshops include the exposure to harmful materials, 
hazardous situations, very extremes temperatures and possible abuse of employees. Most sweatshops consists of the production of shoes, toys, apparel and furniture. There is said to still be sweatshops today. Sweatshops still exist in South and Central America, Eastern Europe, China, India, and other Asian Countries. There are still some sweatshops that exist in America such as California, New York, Dallas, Miami and Atlanta.

President Clinton did create a Apparel Industry Task Force to address the issues of sweatshops existance. I do not belive in sweatshops, personally. I dont believe it in being a punishment neither. I believe that everybody should be treated fair to working conditions at all times.
