Factory owners may tolerate sweatshop conditions in an effort to keep production high and costs low.

Explanation:

Sweatshop refers to a workplace (mainly manual work) where the work conditions are very poor, due to being overcrowded with workers in poor conditioned facilities with a very little salary to workers. By reducing the costs of basic labor conditions such as health or by paying less than the minimum wage, the owners of the industry increase their income.

The term goes back to the industrial era in England in where workers had to grind all the week to receive their very little and unfair payment, since then these types of workplaces have existed and the term Sweatshop became pejorative to a workplace with unfair work condition even nowadays we have them all over the world with reports from mainly manufacturing and agricultural companies.
