There is a large problem in china with the present working conditions. Many Chinese workers face fourteen hour days, six days a week in factories all around China. These factories are crowded, dirty, humid, noisy, and often contain dangerous machinery. Protections from the uncomfortable or even dangerous working conditions are not given by the bosses to the employees because it would cost time and money. As a result many workers are hurt on the job. Many of these workers are females or people in low income neighborhoods, and work to give money to their families. Many girls work in these harsh conditions in order to lessen the burden they placed upon their families for keeping them, because of the societal pressure to have a male. These girls often live in dormitories with several roommates located next to the factory in which they work. They are often unable to form a union and many girls who wish to complain are afraid because even though the conditions are poor, they can easily be replaced by another girl willing to work.
This is wrong and what is more even in Canada the same practises have been adopted and people are getting injured all the time. Especially in Ontario where factories are ever increasing production. However it is the older people here with mortgages who suffer most the youngsters try the jobs find them too fast and hard and leave. They do not as of yet have to provide for family. I worked in a factory so bad I was there a year and they went through over 150 temp workers who could not work fast enough. They increased production three times and even put flashing red lights of the work cell if you failed to make your numbers that hour. The supervisors shouted and bullied people every hour.
