[PDF] National Labor Committee Report on "Musa Garments"

Upon their arrival at the Musa factory, foreign guest workers are stripped of their passports...As many as 10 workers are crowded into small rooms...water is available only one or two hours each night... the routine shift...was 12 ½ to 13 ½ hours a day... [they were] forced to work on national holidays while being paid for just regular hours...The police arrived [when they went on strike] and beat five workers, including women, who were visibly bruised and bleeding...Not only have the six workers been forcibly deported, but six more Musa workers apparently remain imprisoned in an unknown location.
