SWEATSHOPS
Working Conditions?
There are 150 working in this Jordanian sweatshop. They work 14-15 hours a day and get one day off every 3-4 months. These workers are held prisoner. They are given 3.3 minutes to make one garment, and are paid 4 cents for something that would sell for 15 dollars.
Rights?
The workers are stripped of their residency and rights. They are beaten if they do not finish the requirements of the bosses.

Questions
