I have seen the exact same behavior here Canada with companies that are led by Indians. They treat it like a sweatshop. and this was an office.

There was quite a few in the UK as well, mostly in Leicester (large Indian immigrant population there). People being paid Β£3 an hour when it should have been about Β£8 at the time.

If you buy cheap clothes from the likes of BooHoo you should know that they're made in these places, and if you buy expensive clothes, then they're probably made in the exact same conditions with a nicer label sewn in the back and a better PR department to handwave away any wrongdoing.

yes it has been and these places still exist today. They especially love taking advantage of their own.

I work with a few Indian development teams, and "sweatshop" is an apt description. We work on software dependencies, as specified by them. After we deliver, they decide it's not what they wanted, change the specs and treat it as a "drop everything else" bug. It gives me no greater pleasure than telling them to relax, that we'll get to it in due time when we have the capacity. I like to think that a few of their managers already popped a vein.

I've been subject to the same treatment by a white person in Canada. Three out of my 5 colleagues were from India because apparently they were the only ones that could take it. They didn't fire me they made my life hell until I quit because of my mental health crisis. They made me sign bad performance reviews, the manager and her assistant shouted and screamed at me and made me work on holidays and kept accusing me of things that are not true until I quit. They did this to other people as well and no one had any grounds to sue them because they knew how to play the game. It's not just Indians that do this in Canada. Some Canadians do it too. This happen in the national capital region no less.

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

Our Philosophies:

  • All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
  • Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
  • Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
  • We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.

Our Goals

  • Higher wages for underpaid workers.
  • Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
  • Better and fewer working hours.
  • Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
  • Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.
