Slave Labor: ‘Score’ System Pushes Garment Workers to the Brink'

"This system of setting target outputs for workers is common among factories to make sure workers are productive and not idling their time away. 

But according to Yuliana, the problem with the system — known as the “score” among workers — is that the target is always moving, usually up. 

If she and her co-workers manage to consistently meet a target of sewing 600 clothing parts a day, for instance, they are soon given a higher target. "
