How will eliminating sweat shops overseas help those people? Most wealthy nations (including the USA)had sweat shops on their way up. It was and still is a necessary evil to attempt to pull yourself out of poverty. Take away the sweatshops and you fuck those people even more. If your issue is with how those employees are treated that is the role of their government to put in work standards not the United States. You really think Bernie Sander would have impact on changing work standards in another country? How exactly what that work? The Chinese would tell him to go fuck himself.
You change the working standards in another country by simply taxing the products coming to US, if that's all you wanna do. I mean that's how it has been done for about 500 years. Say a company makes a product for US market and in effort to cut costs it moves the production out of US to a country with less regulations and cheaper labor. To make that practice non cost effective you just tariff the fuck out of them. That is if you want to keep jobs in America. Oh and if the company retaliates by selling their product at another market basically nobody cares. Their place will be filled in about 3 seconds. They need the market more than the market needs them.
Also i wouldn't be too worried about evil well fare freeloaders. It's almost impossible to find so many people that are willing to live on well fare instead of working to ever damage the threshold of natural unemployment. There's basically not a single country on earth where living on well fare is so sweet that people do it in masses when there's plenty of work around.
