The authors would like to thank Chaded Chaowilai and Nukul Kokit from Friends of Women Foundation for their support.

Much of this report is based on interviews with workers and former workers at the Lian Thai and Par Garment apparel factories and the Wongpaitoon footwear factory. The authors are grateful to the workers for sharing their views and for their hospitality. While interviewees were willing to have their names published, we felt that it would be best to keep these interviews anonymous.
