"there's always some form of coercion, some threat of violence, some legal/immigration issues that keeps the worker from leaving."
Actually, there were coercive disciplinary policies in play, too. For example, if you questioned the pay shortage, your id card was taken from you.
- incrudible 6y agoDo you have a source for that? I can not find anything like that in the reporting.
