We may see sweatshops as exploitative and abusive, these people see them as a chance to earn a decent wage under better conditions than the available alternatives. You're telling me it's moral to deny them that?

IMO these companies could pay better and could give better safety standards but short term greed makes them pay the least they can get away with. If they really want to achieve long term success in the countries they set up shop in, they would pay fair wages so that the people making the product would be able to afford the product. What it comes down to is that these corporations are using these peoples unfortunate circumstances to take undue advantage of them.
