Sweatshops in the
United States subject workers to hazardous
conditions, pay extremely low wages for long hours of
work, and often use child labor or forced labor. Many
sweatshops fire workers who attempt to organize or
bargain collectively.
You can help
eliminate sweatshops by writing to your two U.S.
Senators and requesting much-needed legislation.
