  • Jinjiang Group, a contractor for Chinese electric vehicle maker BYD , said on Thursday Brazilian authorities' portrayal of their employees as "enslaved" was inconsistent with the facts and that there were translation misunderstandings.

The article from Reuters discusses a controversy involving BYD, a Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer, and its contractor, Sigma Lithium, in Brazil. Brazilian authorities raided a BYD contractor's facility following allegations of "slavery-like" working conditions. The contractor, however, has denied these claims, asserting that the conditions at their facility meet legal standards and that workers are treated fairly. The allegations include issues like excessive working hours, inadequate living conditions, and poor safety measures. BYD has stated that they take such allegations seriously and are conducting an internal investigation to ensure compliance with labor laws. Meanwhile, the Brazilian Labor Ministry is continuing its investigation into the matter, emphasizing the need for multinational companies to adhere to local labor regulations.
