Pennies an Hour and No Way Up

I knew that the people that work in sweatshops made nothing for what they did. I just never realized that it was as low at 1.6 cents. I don't understand why ban imports made with inmate and indentured labor, but don't ban sweatshop product. Its almost like we encourage it to happen. We ban sweatshops in our country but allow the products to flow in from another. In a way I can kind or see where the people that say it is helping them get on their feet are coming from. I mean you have to take into consideration that they are still working. So that means there probably is not anything better then the sweatshops. That still doesn't make it right to have people working in sweatshops.
