Sweatshop girls when their wages are reduced, instead of sewing one hundred pairs of pants, can sew, say, seventy; or, if they must return the same number, sew the other thirty imperfectly —with crooked seams, or use bad thread or doctor the thread with cheap chemicals, so that the seams rip a few hours after the sewing, or be not so careful about the oil on the machines, and so on. —Emile Pouget.
