sweatshop 的词源
sweatshop(n.)
也作 sweat-shop,1884年,美式英语,指服装贸易,“为‘sweater’工作或在‘sweating system’下工作的商店”,来自 sweat (v.) + shop (n.)。更早在英国是 sweating-shop (1846)。
Sweater作为“从绝望的劳动者那里榨取低工资辛苦工作的那个人”在1843年英国出现,指责当时裁缝店老板不道德地外包工作的系统。
A "sweater" was defined to be a journeyman who would engage to do any job that would occupy a good hand two days in the short space of 8 or 10 hours, working by night as well as by day, and on Sundays as well as week days, without any extra charge. A "sweater" turns out as much work as six journeymen employed in the house, which he accomplishes by employing improvers and women at low wages, aided by one or two good hands, but of notoriously bad character or depraved habits, whom no master would employ. [London Standard, Dec. 2, 1843]
“sweater”被定义为一个熟练工人,他会承接任何工作,这些工作会在8或10小时内占用一个优秀工人两天的时间,夜间和白天,以及周末和工作日都不收取额外费用。“sweater”完成的工作量相当于六个在店内工作的熟练工人,他通过雇佣低工资的改善工和女性,以及一两个声名狼藉或堕落习惯的优秀工人来完成这些工作,这些人没有任何老板愿意雇佣。[伦敦标准报,1843年12月2日]
到1872年,sweating在标题和劳动运动中被广泛使用,意为“在合同制度下对非熟练和未组织工人的剥削”。
