Chinese workers found in ‘slavery-like conditions’ at BYD construction site in Brazil
RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) -Brazilian officials found 163 Chinese nationals working in “slavery-like conditions” at a construction site for a factory owned by Chinese electric vehicle producer BYD in Brazil’s Bahia state, the local labor prosecutor’s office said on Monday. According to the authorities, the workers were hired in China by another firm and brought to Brazil irregularly. They were laboring for long hours, in excess of those allowed by Brazilian law, sometimes for seven days a week, while being kept in what authorities described as degrading conditions, among other labor violations, the authorities added.
