Why Companies Feel The Need to Have Sweatshops

I understand that in today’s society money is crucial, but how can someone abused another to gain money? Companies in the U.S. have to abide by certain labor laws, and they do alright. But, why do they feel the need to go to undeveloped countries and exploit the fact that they are poor. Yes, raw materials are cheaper, but because of that fact, would they really be losing money by treating their workers fairly? I am almost certain that most Americans wouldn’t tolerate working under these conditions, so why do those in the sweatshops tolerate it. America had to fight to gain the labor laws we have today, and we need to fight to gain it for all under any American Company. It’s no wonder why so many countries do not like the U.S. We only seem to want to protect our own.
