| Tiivistelmä: | Sweatshops continue to flourish, because we have not found criteria that would allow us to condemn and do away with them and because the poor working conditions in certain places are preferable to the alternative of no job at all. This article examines these phenomena by considering the definitional dilemmas of sweatshops and looking for a standard definition through the precepts in the literature on justice and virtue ethics. The conclusion is that, instead of definitions, we should assess whether a workplace violates basic human rights of workers and whether the working conditions there cohere with the situations on which we have already rendered judgments. Finally, guidelines for global business are proposed to avoid charges of running sweatshops. |
