China Labor Watch received a complaint last fall from one of the thousands of migrant workers brought to Hungary from China.
China Labor Watch alleges forced labour practices at BYD's new Hungarian plant supplying Europe.
KEY POINTS
- Workers reported seven-day workweeks, 12-14 hour shifts, and withheld wages at the BYD site.
- BYD uses complex subcontracting to obscure legal responsibility for labour violations, CLW reports.
- Canada detained shipments of Chinese automotive parts in 2023 over forced labour concerns.
- Canada's forced labour import law requires case-by-case proof, unlike the U.S. blanket ban.
