Three times refusing to work overtime leads to firing. A very small dormitory houses 16 workers. Workers sleep in bunks. There is one bathroom for all of them. Room and board are deducted from wages.
Some workers only eat two meals to save money.
Sometimes because of the deductions and heavy fines, workers may owe money to the factory after a month. Workers receive their first month s pay after they have worked 75 days. In essence, the factory withholds one and a half months of workers wages as deposit. In the peak season the workload is too heavy and many workers would like to leave. However, the loss of money prevents them from doing so.
