But if I bought something from a sweatshop-free company that wasn't American Apparel instead of buying it from a place that uses sweated labour, I'd be supporting their business and providing an impetus (a very small one) for them to open more non-sweated factories and take the workers away from the sweatshop round the corner.
Ok, it doesn't quite work like that because a sweatshop in Thailand is a long way away from a community workshop in Rajasthan, but it pushes something in the right direction instead of contributing to my already huge pile of pushes in the wrong one.
