Company 'code of conduct'. Maquilla textile factory we visited. Not the worst, or the owners would not have let us in, but still very, very bad by anyone's standards. Incredible pace/intensity of work, heat, no paid sick leave, no right of return to a job after being sick, no benefits...roughly $33CAD per week the average wage.
Owners/managers of this place hoping to get good reviews as they were bidding on a number of contracts from 'sensitive' labels.
