This is especially true in the ready-made clothing industry, where people have traditionally been paid for piece work. In order to earn a bit more many, many of the women workers would neither eat nor drink--nor even go to the washroom--though they would still earn only NT $ 20-30,000 for a month of such dedication.
尤其，製衣業向來採按件計酬制，做多少領多少，有些女工為了多賺點錢，上工時間不吃不喝，連想上洗手間都彆著不去上，一個月硬拚下來，也不過兩、三萬元。
