The United States gets the majority of its clothing and textile overseas from third-world countries in poor areas. These countries such as India, China, Ethiopia, Philippines, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Sri Lanka allow them to get more products for an extremely low price. Being that the US dollar is worth so much money in third-world countries, they are willing to put up with the terrible work conditions in sweatshops in order to make a wage. These sweatshops often have poor working conditions, unfair wages, unreasonable hours, child labor, and a lack of benefits for workers. Many high fashion brands to this day are still using sweatshops for their companies illegally. The videos about the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire were very heartbreaking to watch for those lives were lost in vain. It could’ve been avoided if companies didn’t put their profits over the safety of their workers. People were willing to jump out the windows even if it means they could have a slight chance of survival. That incident should’ve been the turning point for all companies. However, still today they still have their workers working in terrible conditions with many safety hazards for just minimum wages.
