Part of ongoing programs at the museum exploring the history of work, this exhibition examines the history of sweatshop production in the United States. The exhibit provides historical perspectives on sweatshops, examining their origins, the effect on immigrants, labor movements, and international competition and technological innovation. It includes a re-creation of an El Monte sewing room, discusses the global nature of apparel manufacturing and provides a forum for national leaders in business, labor, community organizations and government to address sweatshop production. The exhibition highlights good industry practices by showing how affordable garments are being made in the United States and abroad in non-sweatshop conditions.
