[Unofficial description by Business & Human Rights Resource Centre]
In the process of Japanese automakers' local subsidiaries and partners employ migrant workers, workers are owing large sums of money to brokers and others in their home countries. Workers who took on high debt to get a job could feel forced to put up with unfavorable working conditions as they are tied to their jobs by debt.
Toyota is currently investigating the working conditions for migrant workers at Lioho Machine Works (LMW) which produce auto parts for Toyota, Mitsubishi Motors, Honda, and Nissan. This article includes comments from Toyota, Honda, Mitsubishi, Ford, and GM. Nissan refused to comment.
