Around the world, especially in developing nations that are trying to catch up in the global economy, undesirable conditions can exist for many workers.  A 2017 story, for instance, reported on how hundreds of workers at shoe factories in Cambodia were fainting from exhaustion while working 10-hour shifts six days a week in overly hot factories.  If you do your own exploring online, you'll find other stories like that one.  Workplace safety remains a concern in today's industrialized (and industrializing) world.
