The employment contract of a Chinese migrant worker in Brazil sheds light on the slavery-like conditions at BYD contractor Jinjiang. The document, which was obtained by the Reuters news agency, required the workers to pay a deposit of 900 USD at the start of the contract. The workers were to receive this deposit back at the earliest after six months of employment. The management wanted to prevent dissatisfied workers from returning home prematurely. To be on the safe side, the company seized the workers’ passports.
