Research Question 2 for Slavery on the Henequen Plantations of Yucatan

There are tons of sweatshops in China. They usually make American goods like shoes, clothes, and toys. They have low wages, horrific working hours, and no air conditioning. The factories are dirty and not well taking care of. They are refused the opportunity to create labor unions to protest for better working hours, conditions and pay. The bosses of the companies ignore workers complaints because they want to save as much money as they can and if workers do complain they can be replaced easily with other unemployed people. There are efforts to change the troubling conditions but nothing is set in stone since they are their own country and can do whatever they like.
