BYD Reportedly Brought Chinese Workers With Irregular Visas To Work At Factory, Says Brazilian Labor Inspector

Quick Summary:

What Happened: In late December, Brazilian authorities halted the construction of the plant that BYD is building in Salvador, Bahia after finding 163 workers living and working in conditions it termed analogous to "slavery".

Chinese EV maker BYD Co Ltd (OTC:BYDDY) reportedly brought hundreds of Chinese workers with irregular visas to work at its upcoming factory in Brazil.

Brazil’s Labor Prosecutor's Office (MPT) then also said that the conditions at the factory  constituted "forced labor".
