Not all.
But most companies that abuse third world countries...
EXAMPLE: Primark
I advise you never to shop here - ever.
Why? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-22476774

I've heard about those Bangladesh factories a few years ago.

Now it seems like an Old Salt's tale to GOP.

Liberals use it in argument, however.

I realize that to us sweatshops seem horrible, but they're still a step up from what the workers were previously doing. Here is a LearnLiberty article about it:

"Should sweatshops around the world be shut down? What might we say if we looked at sweatshops from the perspective of the world’s poor? While it may be true that sweatshops treat workers unfairly, Professor Matt Zwolinski says there are three points to be made in defense of sweatshops.

The exchange between the worker and the employer is mutually beneficial. Sweatshop jobs often pay three to seven times more than wages paid elsewhere in an economy. Workers in the developing world tend to view sweatshop labor as a very attractive option.

Even if sweatshop labor is unfair, it’s a bad idea to prohibit it. Taking away sweatshops just takes away an option for the poorest workers of the world. While countries can make it illegal for sweatshops to pay low wages, they cannot prevent sweatshops from shutting down and paying no wages. And when that happens, the workers all lose their jobs.

It is better to do something to end the problem of global poverty than it is to do nothing. Sweatshops are doing something to help. They are providing jobs that pay better than other alternatives, and they are contributing to a process of economic development that has the potential to offer dramatic living increases.

If we look at sweatshops from the perspective of the world’s poor, which looks better: the American company that outsources to a sweatshop and provides jobs in developing countries, or the American company that, because of its high-minded moral principles, hires only U.S. workers?"

I do like the sweatshops, but improve the conditions.

You can't have the workers in such condition!
