4. 14 hour days, child labor, being docked for mistakes

no bathroom breaks, keep on working even after you drive a sewing machine needle through your fingernail!

I don't know how anyone could do such tedious work without making mistakes for 12-14 hours a day 6 days straight. The women were subjected to physical violence by police when they went on strike, but they were successful. Even so, when the fire happened, the owners got themselves out to another building from the roof without first going to the 10th floor to unlock the door that would have let all their employees evacuate safely. They just saved themselves and didn't give a rats ass, and collected the insurance money.

The stories of women holding hands and jumping to their death are so reminiscent of 9.11.01
