163 Chinese Workers Rescued from Slavery-like Conditions at BYD Construction Site in Camaçari, Bahia
Dec 24, 2024, 02:01 AM
Brazilian labor authorities have rescued 163 Chinese workers from slavery-like conditions at a construction site for electric vehicle manufacturer BYD in Camaçari, Bahia. The workers were reportedly living and working in excessively poor conditions, prompting a task force from the Ministry of Labor and the Federal Police to intervene. Following the discovery, BYD has severed ties with the construction firm responsible for the site. The Brazilian labor prosecutor's office stated that the construction was halted due to the findings, which have raised concerns about labor rights violations in the country. This incident highlights ongoing issues related to labor practices involving foreign workers in Brazil.
