Whats the harm?

In China, while the the workers aren't forced to work, in order to survive they must work in and under conditions that abuse them daily.


Verbal, physical and sexual abuse are all but a daily routine for some workers. While workers aren't "forced" to work, in certain places they must either choose to survive (work) or give up on life all together. Workers suffer psychological abuse working under armed supervision.


It is not uncommon for supervisors to physically assault workers if work is not up to standard. Contracts are another problem for a lot of the workers in these sweatshops.




Many workers are fired if they refuse to work overtime (without overtime pay) which was of course was not mentioned on their contract. Despite the workers reporting these crimes, in order for them to keep their jobs, they must sit silent.
