Ltd , including denial of leave, excessive production targets, verbal abuse, mandatory and underpaid overtime, denial of social security insurance, denial of permanent contracts for day labourers and wage cuts. Workers also reported a lack of workplace safety, including closed emergency exits, no clean drinking water, limited access to medicine and the factory clinic, lack of adequate toilets, and inadequate arrangements for the workers’ dining hall.
