According to anti-sweatshop activists, it's wrong for sweatshops to hire people. But now these same anti-sweatshop activists are criticizing a sweatshop for laying off workers.

This factory was unionized. That hardly seems like a sweatshop.

It still has third world wages and third world working conditions.

I'm pro-sweatshop. It's better than the manual farming jobs, famine, or prostitution that sweatshops help people to escape from. But I am consistenly in favor of sweatshops, regardless of their union or non-union status.

Perhaps the anti-sweatshop movement is really a front for the union organizers.
