U.S. Companies Exploiting Their Workers

Many American companies have been exploiting their workers for the past few years. Since the American work force standards are so high, companies have found it much cheaper to have their products made in many different countries such as Taiwan, Vietnam, China, etc. It's cheaper to do this because the companies don't have to have as many safety hazards since the working standards in many foreign countries are much lower than the standards in America. For example, if a company uses a certain glue to assemble their product and America outlaws a glue that causes birth defects but is much cheaper than the standard glue then the company will build factories in foreign countries that allow the workers to use the cheaper glue. Another reason it's cheaper in some countries is because the minimum wage in most countries is a lot less than the minimum wage in America. Some people see this as a way to open up job opportunities for less fortunate people but this also takes away jobs from many Americans while exploiting many workers in foreign countries.
