"Sweatshop" is a derogatory term for a workshop or factory where labor and compensation laws are not followed. Workers get paid less than the legal minimum wage, are expected to work overtime without getting paid extra, workers are denied breaks that are required by law, are sometimes abused verbally or physically by their bosses, and they're generally treated like slaves.
