Workers in Factory E complained that the factory owner gets rich by fines. A long list of workers who have been fined is posted on the notice board every day. Most factories do not follow Chinese Labor Law in that they do not promote and engage the social security scheme . If workers want to leave, they have to give up their delayed payment which is about two month's wages. Even their personal belongings, which have been placed in the dorm, cannot be taken away without permission.
Some workers bring their belongings out of the dorm bit by bit once they plan to leave.
For example, they wear three pairs of trousers and put a small parcel under their coats at the break and store them temporarily at a friends' place outside the factory. However, not all these facilities are open. Only the ballroom is open on Saturday afternoon. Anyhow, workers have no spare time to use these facilities. One of them said, Once you work here, you will have no space, no time, and no entertainment.
