Trapped in the kitchen of the world: The situation for migrant workers in Thailand’s poultry industry (Report #76)

Interviews with 98 migrant workers employed by four different Thai poultry producers, that all have exported to Sweden during the last three years, show an extensive variation of violations. In total, six factories were included in the field study. Based on the interviews, four of the factories were found to act in breach of many or all of Thailand’s main labour and social protection laws as well as international laws and standards formulated by the UN, ILO and others, at the time of the field study.
