RUI XIN SHOES factory working hours are from 7:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Workers have to work 3 hours overtime hours...a worker said that on Sunday, which is a public holiday, he worked overtime from 7:30 am to 5:00 pm.
"We cannot work overtime. In addition to working overtime day after day, we are asked to produce more than what the workers can produce...The workers hardly have time to drink water or take a nap. If they do not meet the set standards, the supervisors are slandering them," said the factory worker, who did not want to be named.
