Abstract

One common argument against sweatshops is that they are exploitative. Exploitation is taken as sufficient reason to condemn sweatshops as unjust and to argue that sweatshop owners have a moral duty to offer better working conditions to their employees. In this article, I argue that any exploitation theory falls short of covering all standard cases of sweatshops as exploitative. In going through the most prominent theories of exploitation, I explain why any given sweatshop can either be wrongfully exploitative or not, depending on the exploitation theory being considered and the circumstances of the application. I conclude by suggesting that sweatshop critics had better find other reasons besides the charge of exploitation to protest or interfere with these workplaces.
重新评估血汗工厂的剥削指控
反对血汗工厂的一个常见论点是,它们是剥削性的。剥削被视为谴责血汗工厂不公正的充分理由,并辩称血汗工厂所有者有道德责任为员工提供更好的工作条件。在这篇文章中,我认为任何剥削理论都不能涵盖血汗工厂的所有标准案例。在回顾最著名的剥削理论时,我解释了为什么任何血汗工厂都可能是错误的剥削,也可能不是,这取决于所考虑的剥削理论和应用的情况。最后,我建议,血汗工厂的批评者除了指责剥削之外,最好找到其他理由来抗议或干预这些工作场所。
