Document Summary
People working 80-96 hours a week and slumping on the job. Control & discipline: government control, export processing zones. Zones designated under free trade agreements with high government control. Very high levels of control and low wages. The workers live and work in colour coded areas with colour coded clothing. The colour signi es what work they will be doing that day ex, creating an i-pad. They do morning exercises and then go to of their work. The workers are very over worked and some workers would jump o the building because it was too much so, the company built nets around the building to prevent this from happening. Very long hours, can be 14 hrs a day. There is high end mining with sophisticated machinery but, lots of mining is low end with lots of labour. There was lots of control with soldiers present. Electric waste for old i-phones and other electronics.
