Donating to Team Sweat
(2)Okay, Team sweat may be awesome, But they are terribly underfunded. If you are at the age where you pay taxes, click Here To donate to them. It is tax deductible, so rather then giving money to Stephen Harper, you'll be giving to someone who is trying to change the world. Also, you could buy some (definitly not sweatshop made) Team sweat gear, Riiiiiight about here! :D

Destroying Innocent People For Money?
The creators of sweatshops (for what sweatshops are, see "So what ARE sweatshops" ) The creators destroy innocent people for money! why would you do that? would you rather let some nice people live or become rich and step on so many people on your way to the top??
No you shouldn't do that, well just imagine yourself as one of those people, how would you like it if you had to work in sweatshops? Exactly you wouldn't so think about it and put yourself in someone else's shoes.

Nike Sweatshops
yes, One of the most famous shoe companies USES SWEATSHOPS! you can check out our video about Nike in the "Videos" section (one of the videos states they get paid 0.07 cents PER SHOE!). They use sweatshops and they refuse to stop. Jobs are needed in the U.S, where they could set up factories and give people jobs. Just a little more factories in the U.S, and less in other countries. There is a really cool group of people trying to stop Nike sweatshops, Called Team Sweat. Link below. They try to stop Nike's sweatshops, and they even have a youtube channel with lots of videos you should check out. And, for the factories in countries such as Indonesia, pay them MORE. one of the Team sweat videos shows how much they are really paid!

They've been using sweatshops since the 1970s in South Korea and Taiwan to make goods. As the economies developed, workers later became more productive and their wages rose then some workers moved on to higher paying jobs.Later Nike found cheaper labor offered In Indonesia,China and Vietnam which prohibited labor unions.When workers demanded additional rights, Nike moved to a different location where they could continue to operate at a low cost.

So, what ARE sweatshops?
well if you don't know what sweatshops are, they are factories in developing countries that force people to work dawn to dusk (even very young children) they pay them VERY little (like 3 dollars a day in MEXICO!)
Look at this poor child who probably wouldn't even be in Kindergarten if they lived in Canada working hard labour! it's torture! it should be ended! that why we made this blog. Please check out the rest of our blog to let yourself realize how bad it really is. The highest i found was $2.38 per hour
