Susie says that Shmike was "guilty" of labor abuses in China, Vietnam and Indonesia in 1999. To be "guilty" of something is to be responsible for it (legally, financially, etc). A criminal is found "guilty" or innocent by a court of law. If Shmike was revealed to be guilty of labor abuses, they committed labor abuses.
Susie says that Shmike's facilities in Asia were essentially "sweatshops". A "sweatshop" is a factory or manufacturing plant in which workers are exploited, abused or underpaid. The term "sweatshop" is unrelated to "sweatshirts", or any type of merchandise.
Susie says that Shmike's products were "dominant", meaning they were successful (even that they dominated the market) during the 1990s. Susie adds that the products were dominant both "domestically", meaning on a national level (or within the U.S.), and "abroad", meaning "overseas" (or outside the U.S.). "Domestic" and "abroad" are synonymous with "national and international" in this context, and "dominant" shares a close meaning with the term "successful".
On the contrary, Susie says that Shmike refused to pay their Asian workers the money they were promised. This isn't an example of "overpaying", which is to pay more than what is expected or appropriate.
