If they do not agree to the work and the conditions they can be subjected to the things all sorts of horrible treatment and punishment such as the things previously mentioned, if they do agree they can be taken away from their families, leaving them with no income or very little to survive on. Workers are not payed for there work and are placed in pathetic working conditions. The situation is a reflection of the corruption in the governments of countries such as Burma that are conveyors of this exploitation.
Also at the mercy of exploitation are immigrants fleeing war torn countries and facing tuff immigration laws. These people are forced to live illegally and usually have to turn to more degrading conditions of work, because of their status as an illegal immigrant. It is a rather complex situation for these people fleeing their countries that have been ravaged by war or other problems. Other countries that are also infamous for exploitation are Bangladesh, Cambodia, El Salvador and Mexico. .
One company in particular that has factories in all these places and has been the target of protests is the multi national clothes retailer GAP. They have been called to pay their workers fare wages to end the exploitation and have been documented to having abusive working conditions. Many of the workers earn just 30 cents an hour!.
The exploitation of workers is a serious issue that robs hard working people of their money and forces them to live in unsuitable conditions for any one. But things are being done to combat this.
