The Fact Monster



  • Forced labor, and sweatshops still exist in the United States

  • Many major clothing corporations use sweatshops, but do not admit to it

  • Some of the people who are forced to work for sweatshops make as little as $5.00 a week

  • Workers in sweatshops work as long as 12 hours in one day

  • Kids are kidnapped from the streets all over the world and forced to work, sometimes at gun-point, for long hours in sweatshops

  • Restavic is what a child slave in Haiti is called

  • Restavics are punished with a beating, and if the supervisor does not want to beat the child, they can take the child to a police station for a beating. At a police station they are beaten to death.
