Hours and wages.

People that are in need of jobs are willing to take any job that would come their way. But THEY ARE human beings and would like to be treated with dignity and respect as well. The opportunity of a job in a sweat shop is great but when you look at the pay, you just think is it really worth it? there is no future with the money being provide to them. a worker in El Salvador makes $0.24 for every NBA jersey she/he make and then when they are shipped to the U.S. to sell, they are sold aound $140 a jersey. These companies also try to keep the wages low as well so that more money can fall in their pockets and to keep their investors. Most of these workers pull 12-15 hours a day just to make enough to get the family something to eat.
