India's salt pan workers face deadly heat with no relief. This isn't just a local crisis, it’s a global blueprint for exploitation.
FO Take · Score 92
The brutal conditions endured by India's salt pan workers expose the dark underbelly of the global economy.

While challenging, salt production is a vital industry providing livelihoods. Local solutions and improved infrastructure, rather than broad condemnation, are needed to uplift these communities sustainably.
