Kuyumcuoglu, Huseyin S.2024-06-232024-06-23202301333-11081847-6139https://doi.org/10.52685/cjp.23.68.6https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12469/5652One 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.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess[No Keyword Available]Article2212406823WOS:00117100570000610.52685/cjp.23.68.62-s2.0-85182476808N/AQ3
