A sweatshop is defined as a place of work with terrible conditions, including difficult, dangerous work earning low wages, and in some cases utilizing child labor. Sweatshops are often employed with workers obtained through human trafficking: recruiting, harboring, or transporting people in an exploitative situation by using violence, deception, or coercion, and forcing them to work against their will. Many of the common products that we use every day are produced in sweatshops all over the world, especially in countries such as Cambodia, India, Bangladesh, and West Africa. The majority of the beloved, extremely popular companies that we frequently give our business to produce their products in sweatshops, exploiting their workers by making them work in extremely terrible conditions and paying them only a minuscule fraction PER DAY of the minimum wage for modern American workers. The purpose of this petition is to encourage people to reduce the business they give to these companies, as their business is in turn exploiting thousands of workers. These companies include but certainly are not limited to Nike, Puma, H&M, Walmart, Asics, Forever 21, Gap Inc., Abercrombie and Fitch, Victoria's Secret, and The Hershey Company. Overall, the less that we support these businesses, the more they begin to realize that change is necessary.
