So the people working harder and producing more would make more money than the people who were working slower.

Which sounds fair.

That's a fair system, right?

When you sew, you have one foot on a pedal, and so your weight tends to be on your other leg.

Doing that for eight hours a day, 40 hours a week, perhaps, or more, that can cause issues.

We spoke to workers who have gotten burned, scarred, need surgery on their shoulder.

Doing the same arm repetitions every single day.

And you do hundreds of these units.

So you've got a front and a back.

You've got the band along the bottom, and then you've got the piping pieces on the armhole and the neckline.

It's a very basic bra.

Just to sew the bra.

I'm not talking about any of the prep work, like laying out the fabric, cutting out the fabric, bundling the pieces.

Yeah.

This is as good as it gets?

Well, in terms of people actually being paid.

It could be 50 cents in other countries.

No, absolutely not.

I think we have the image of a well-run factory that's air-conditioned, where people get nice breaks and go home to their families at night.

And it's just not.
