  I don't think they are sweat shops. I'm not defending apple, gap or anyone else but everything is in context. By the Wests standards the workers pay is low. Health and safety is low etc. By their standards it's a good living. What would be the point it outsourcing work, to pay the same as you do at home, making people effectively millionaires and unbalancing their country's economy. Real sweat shops are bad. Foxcon isn't good but I don't think it's a sweatshop - a lot of other tech companies use them too - probably the ones who made the thing you're typing on.
