Best Answer

Sweatshops do not use slave labor; their employees did choose to work there. It is necessary to understand the context of such choices. In an economically depressed or underdeveloped region, there may be few available forms of employment. Desperate people may choose to work in a sweatshop because they see no better alternative.
