Gloves join the country's electronics, garments and palm oil sectors in this year's edition of the US’ biennial list of goods produced with forced labour. FMTNews MigrantWorkers RubberGloves ForcedLabour

According to a report, some 42,500 migrant workers were forced into labour in the rubber glove industry in Malaysia.

Released late last month, the 2020 edition claimed that forced labour in Malaysia’s rubber glove industry predominantly occurred among the estimated 42,500 migrant workers from Bangladesh, India, Myanmar and Nepal, who were employed in over 100 rubber glove factories throughout the country. The detention order prevents Top Glove’s imports from entering the US, and the glove maker has since embarked on a RM136 million remediation programme of past recruitment fees in order to reverse the CBP ruling.
