Your right. A sweatshop worker is not within a light year of a level playing field with a sweatshop owner. Thanks for acknowledging one of the points I was trying to make
Now: That being the case, explain how a sweatshop worker, being a light year away from having the power of a sweatshop owner, is going to FORCE that owner to improve working standards. Explain how, if the sweatshop owner decides to leave because of this, this worker is going to get a better deal. If the worker could get a better deal, then why does he not already start with it?!
He can't get a better deal, that's exactly the
problem. He's stuck choosing between hell and death because he got the short end of the stick. He is not a free man, nor is his choice to work in the sweatshop voluntary. It is an ultimatum with death as the other option.
