Workplace Exploitation

Workplace exploitation occurs when employees are unfairly treated, often involving conditions like unpaid or underpaid labor, excessive working hours, unsafe environments, or coercion to work against their rights. It capitalizes on economic or social vulnerabilities, disregarding workers’ well-being and dignity. This practice can be hidden or overt, but it ultimately deprives workers of fair treatment and infringes on their human rights, often benefiting employers at the expense of employees' health, safety, and livelihood. Addressing it requires awareness, legal protections, and ethical business practices.
