The slavery continues

There is another excellent article by Ron Brownlow in today’s Taipei Times detailing some of the problems faced by foreign workers in Taiwan. Ron also wrote about this problem a few months ago.

It seems nothing has changed. These problems have, of course, existed for years. They came to the public’s attention after a group of Thai workers rioted in protest against their working conditions in August last year. At the time the government made promises to improve the situation, but has anything really changed?
