Walmart v.s Sweat Shops?

Question

I heard recently that Walmart supports sweat shops. Is this true???

Answer 1

Almost any store that sells clothes has some made in sweatshops. People like to bag on walmart, but the fact is that 99% of the clothing stores out there have their garments potentially made overseas in sweatshops.

About the only way you can get around this is by making the garments yourself, as there are sweatshops even here in the USA. I use to live in San Francisco and they were all over the place using immigrant labor.
