Enough said really? How does it help those cheap laborers when you boycott products they make?

Yeah i was gonna stay way outside this thread, but this question was the first that popped in my mind as well.
So you boycott those companies that use cheap labor to produce goods. Said manufacturer then sees sales drop, hence laying off employees/shutting down plants. Ergo, those sweatshop employees now are in even worse shape.
This benefits who? The consumer, because he has a clear conscience that he is not supporting some corprorate giant any longer? The worker because he doesnt have to work in horrid conditions any longer, but in exchange, has no income?
I don't get it.
