“They don’t take any actions while the all supers did the same. They recircuited overtime until mid-night 00:00 without providing transportation. The two workers would have mistakes as they have to do every works urgently just before the inspecting team come,” They are forcing the stuffs to sign warning and dismissed them for minor mistakes while they don’t see their own mistakes. The employers didn’t sign the EC contract themselves. It’s the factory who did it,” said a worker who don’t want to be named.
