    -None of the workers received a copy of their work contract – a violation of Vietnamese law.
    -Women work under high noise levels that exceed Vietnamese regulatory limits.
    -All workers reported extreme fatigue and dizziness or fainting at work.
    -Workers reported that miscarriages are extremely common—even expected.
    -Workers must stand throughout their 8-to-12-hour shifts and many are kept on alternating day and night shift schedules, regardless of weekends.
    -Pregnant workers usually stand for the entire shift to avoid having the company deduct money from their wages for taking breaks.
    -More than half of the interviewed women have children, but company dormitory rules prohibit them from living with their mothers. The children live with family members in another town or city.
    -Workers reported problems with bone, joint, and leg pain.
    -Workers’ lives are controlled inside and outside of work and they are restricted from speaking about work because of fear of reprisals.
    -The need for further research regarding chemical exposure is necessary. Despite the fact that workers are stationed in open factory settings where other workers use a variety of substances, they did not consider assembly line work a chemical risk.
Sounds like exploitation to me
