A follow-up report by the Finnish civic organisation Finnwatch has accused the Siam Sempermed medical glove factory in Thailand of violating labour rights.
Several hospital districts across Finland use gloves made by Siam Sempermed.
In a release, Finnwatch said the follow-up report is based on interviews with workers.
The factory keeps workers’ travel documents, sets mandatory production targets, and deducts large documentation fees from the salaries of migrant workers, said the report.
“Some of the migrant workers have found the conditions at the factory so unsatisfactory that they have fled without their personal documents,” said Finnwatch Executive Director Sonja Vartiala.
The unsatisfactory conditions have compelled some of the workers to flee without their personal documents, added Vartiala.
Finnwatch, however, said some of the problems previously encountered at the factory have been resolved.
The workers are now given pay slips and employment contracts in their own language, it’s easier to obtain sick leave and, according to the workers, the factory no longer dismisses workers illegally, said Finnwatch.
Finnwatch has been monitoring conditions at the factory since 2013.
