A sweatshop is where people, namely children and the elderly, work for wages that could not even afford food and water or possibly even no wages at all. In many cases the people are not allowed to leave. Noteworthy past examples include Nike Sweatshops in east asia including Pakistan, Indonesia, and India.
Similarly, Apple runs Sweatshops in India, and in December of 2020 a riot broke out where the unpaid workers trashed the facility that assembles iPhones.
Tim cook, a gay man, donated a million to trump. Don’t let Apple pretend they aren’t playing both sides.
I reckon they have to at this point. Pay your dues and get to keep your business.
But Costco loves us, right?
Welcome to Costco
Your uniqueness will be added to our membership.
Resistance is in aisle 6
They also operate a lot of sweatshops.

You were referencing Costco. Cite examples of alleged Costco sweatshops please.
And since you’re introducing the Apple example, cite that specifically please. Interested to learn more of India and Apple
No, neither me nor the comment above mine said Costco. It was explicitly apple.
They were probably set off by the loose usage of the word “similarly”.
I’m nearly certain that ALL major tech manufacturers do. So, don’t go thinking that Samsung phone of yours is sweatshop free.
I tried to avoid that by buying fairphone, hopefully their supply chain is decent.
Who needs a phone that costs 1500 to doom scroll Lemmy anyway
Really? Damn
