The worker said that if he takes leave for an emergency in the workplace...he will receive [a wage reduction]...

In addition, there are some who are sick while in the workplace and are unable to leave the workplace because they are not allowed to go to the clinic if they ask for a medical check-up.

Professional fee A++ 60,000 at work. A+50,000 A 40,000 B 30000 C20,000 was set, but the worker said that they only got the minimum level...

[Workers called for the factory] to prevent...swearing and yelling at the workers... to ask for [targets] that the workers can [meet]...to pay professional fees [correctly], to manage drinking water in the workplace due to the hot weather.
