Who runs sweatshops?

Sweatshops are typically run by manufacturers and companies seeking to minimize production costs by exploiting cheap labor. These operations are often found in developing countries where labor laws may be lax or poorly enforced. Large multinational corporations may contract with these factories to produce goods at lower prices, prioritizing profit over worker rights and conditions. As a result, workers in sweatshops often face long hours, low wages, and unsafe working environments.
