SWEATED Meaning and
Definition
-
Sweated is an adjective that typically describes a form of labor or work characterized by intensely strenuous, physically demanding, and often low-paying conditions. The term originated in the late 19th century and was initially associated with the working conditions prevalent in industrial factories during the Industrial Revolution.
Sweated labor refers to situations where workers, typically in developing countries, are employed under oppressive conditions with minimal pay, excessive hours, inadequate safety measures, and limited employment rights. These workers often toil long hours in hazardous environments, facing exploitation and abuse by unscrupulous employers. The term "sweated" implies that these individuals endure physical exertion to the point of perspiration.
The concept of sweated labor has also been applied to other sectors beyond manufacturing to encompass agricultural, service, and informal work settings characterized by similar exploitative conditions. It symbolizes a system that prioritizes maximizing profits at the expense of worker welfare and human rights.
Sweated labor has attracted significant criticism and has been subject to international efforts to combat it. Organizations and movements advocating for workers' rights and fair labor practices have consistently campaigned against the exploitation endured by those trapped in sweated labor situations, pushing for reforms to improve their working conditions, wages, and overall well-being.
