sweatshop

A sweatshop is a workplace where employees often work long hours under poor conditions for low pay. These factories commonly produce clothing, electronics, or other goods, sometimes violating labor laws and occupational safety standards. Workers may face exploitation, including lack of proper breaks, unsafe environments, and limited rights. Sweatshops are often found in developing countries, driven by the demand for cheap products and cost-cutting by companies. The term highlights concerns about ethical manufacturing practices and the importance of ensuring fair treatment and safe, humane working conditions for all workers.
