If you ever think you are having a bad day at work, just remember to come back to this clip and see what hell some people's lives are
Ha, if you think this is bad, trying working for dementia Joe and Kamalahoe🕷.
I live in Mumbai. I live in a nice life. I dont have any troubles because my family is rich. Now i realized how poor people survive. I cryed that time. This gave me a inspiration that if poor people can survive like this than i have a nice life and i should also give my best. Jai Hind!!!!!!!
At 9:10 what makes me proud as Indian. He still has a flag next to Gods pics. He is not a gaddar, he sends his kids to school, and he goes to his “duty” even he is hungry. That’s the dedication of a true India. Lalan, you are a superhero sir.
Thank you. You understand responsibility, many commentors live in a fantisy land where the government or rich people are to blame for problems the percieve. I think the fellow working very hard needs to be congratulated, that is how, families, communities and people grow into prosperity, not by condimnation of workers or where they work. It is work, where it is sparse.
The guy cutting the circle with a torch though!!
One of carreers most eye opening trip was to India. I'll never forget the kindness and spirit of the workers I meet. Willing to share a meal, knowing it's all they could afford. Some didn't even own a pair of shoes.
They don't use condoms, do they? You're the typical superior-feeling Westerner who wants to show how very compassionate he is to the poor, stupid yet happy and wonderfully generous people in this part of the world.
Backpacker Thrulife...............what's your fucking problem, Fred was merely relating a positive encounter he had traveling. How is his comment in anyway "superior feeling" or pretending to show HIS compassion? As well you're beaking off about...condoms WTF? You're just a miserable asshole striking at people anonymously. You're a loser.
clearly you lack schooling.
Flying into Mumbai airport for the first time was such a shock. The shanty towns are right up against the fence surrounding the airport. The city was a massive contrast for me, seeing mega rich and mega poor often within yards of each other. I will never forget my visit.
Great documentary Prathamesh. I had the pleasure of meeting your dad and sister while I was in Mumbai last year - very solid, hard-working unionists fighting the good fight. I also took a tour of the yards, which was a staggering reminder of how harsh work is for many. This doc captures both the awfulness of the yards, and the fantastic effort folks are making in defending themselves against some pretty horrendous employers.
Never say you hate your job again! It's almost embarrassing how spoiled and entitled America is becoming. Be incredibly thankful and mindful how great we have it here..
Crazy to think that ship breaking yard was once a pristine natural habitat
Kev so was your driveway and the roads you drive on. Amazing how you snowflakes cherry pick
john knowing it’s crazy how my neighborhood was once a pristine habitat. Don’t worry I thought of that too you prick. You don’t know anything about me.
Kev I know a hell of a lot about people like you city/suburbanites that go around thinking you one with nature and tout that for a social standing thinking your stewards of the earth and special better then others. So explain why you say “it’s crazy how my neighborhood was once a pristine habitat” what does that even mean, your such a snowflake.. man needs a place to live stupid called neighborhoods/cities. But you have no problem using manmade pollution products such as buying a P.C. boated from overseas to post you hiking trips. Actually you snowflakes never get the big picture. You all bitch about the habitat going away yet have kids etc to perpetuate the earth recourses being consumed, or places like India’s double the birth rate and how not that long ago close to half of India’s population daily shits in the public streets and beside roads and wipe their ass with their hands and they having double the births rates VS other countries,, NOPE you Liberals cant say this, that’s racist.. Me I grew up with a creek in my backyard and woods and near the Amish that live more off grid then most others yet theirs no such thing as living off the grid. Wrap this around your head. You people will NEVER really do anything about keeping things in large form “pristine” what’s even wackier is you liberals don’t give a rats ass your voter base Ghettos polluting our city streets and do nothing about the Liberals voter base street killings and how a kid told to sleep on the floor in case a stray bullet flies through the house and the floor less chance of a stray bullet hitting that child sleeping. But oohh lets save, rescue a dog so you Libs can act like they are better then the average Joe. Oh lets not use plastic bags and use paper straws to save a planet.. So you say “ Crazy to think that ship breaking yard was once a pristine natural habitat” so what’s YOUR solution to this. Yep your a typical Liberal bitching about using a “pristine natural habitat” but NO solution this necessary process. So where should this be done stupid not using landmass. So how much did YOU buy in your lifetime goods that came by a ship? So when you stop being the cause of this and have NO solutions then shut your liberal crap Ass I mentioned living in Puerto Rico part time.,On the roof most all have a solar hot water heater and why isn’t that used in the states like Fl. Calf etc and NOT use so much electric? When projection TVs came out in 1947 mass-produced in the 2000. They had a parabolic lens that in the sun produces up to 2,700 degrees, which can be focused on a heat exchanger to heat homes OR make a mini heat turbine to make electric, why isn’t this done. The Liberals have NO platform to say vote for me and well have clean energy, which we already have with the parabolic lenses
So if the unemployment is solved like Trump did pre virus, and we have clean heating of homes then what will the Libs tout fort their agendas to win votes. Just on a side not global warming comes from asphalt roads and roofs. Liberals wont tell you this because how do you stop building roads!!! So far all the house roofs and public roads in the U.S. combined would cover several states. Asphalt on the in gets up to 140 degrees. That said I KNOW you and how you process pinhead
john knowing sorry bro I didn’t read any of that. Waaaaay to long
Kev Lol you really expect me to believe you didn’t read my whole post, a page long at best.. Just by you responding means you read the whole post.. It hit home so much all you could come back with is a lame “way to long to read” Human nature says you probably read it more then once.. I’ve always said you humans are so simple and think all this is new in life. I realized this back in 7th grade and came up with a saying that depicts just that. “He who knows what one knows not, knows not what there really is to know” Humans (liberals) like you are so predictable in cause and effect responses and your patterns. So when was the last time you questioned why are you so insecure to think you’re a steward of nature and the planet not unlike how Dem libs took a house pet, dog into a status symbol to worship an animal as you eat animals.
I can't even imagine the ratio of accidents at work in this place, it must be crazy
@Joel Really? And they have nuclear weapons, carriers and submarines. How They do that ?
I can't decide what's worse. Dying in these shit holes. Or growing old in them...
Oof. That’s depressing
I would say that if their union is 92 years old and this best they get after all these years, then they need a new union! Ridiculous.
+mel faulkner The union was port & dock workers they changed their constitution & name to port trust dock & general workers to help Ship breaking workers & have been doing it since 2003
Shipbreaking is an ugly, filthy business. But you'll have to admit it's very interesting watching those guys cut those things up. It's like a carefully choreographed art, as it demands skill and many very watchful eyes.
clearly you lack schooling.
@@cataclysmal5315 Clearly you've never put in a solid day's work in all your fucking life. Skill doesn't always come with a college degree. Actually it never comes with schooling. Skill comes from experience.
It was after I had done this work in Wilmington NC that I discovered the reasons that it was no longer done in the US. It was just as dangerous for me as it is for the others in the world who end up doing this sort of work. I was there in Wilmington for their movie business. The man I worked for told me he was certain DeLaurentis was a mobster. His US story was one of making big money from going bankrupt. No doubt about it that I am proud I have survived doing work that is as dangerous as any working man may end up doing to get a few bucks.
I bet the shipbreaking managers and upper supervisors drive around in Mercedes benz and sports cars, and in the meantime these workers don't even earn a plate of food after a hard days work . That is so unjust.
Yah it is called globalism. Both socialism and capitalism are colonizers. Happy times... money is leaving the west to only end up in the hands of the elites overseas muahaha. Inequality for all.
Actually I know some people who were in the ship breaking industry, it would be convenient to paint them as the bad guys, but the industry is dead in Mumbai, because all the owners went bankrupt. and unfortunately for the workers they dont even have these jobs anymore. because the ship-selling companies demand huge prices for their discarded ships.. so as usual a lion share of all money flows back into the western world's bank accounts...
Overseas means europe also.
DeltaLou lol so true. Esp with illegal which both liberals and conservatives like for different reasons. Though tbh the minimum wage in most US states is laughable.
A lovely film with powerful storylines. Beautifully shot and an authentic, insider's, view of the harsh working conditions and lives of India's poorest workers. Keep up the good work!
My heart really goes out to these people. May God bless and protect them.
All them people looting and burning in the USA should be sent to Mumbai for a year
You dumb ass. The only reason it’s better in the USA is because of protests. That included the Boston tea party which was looting and burning. I do not condone looting and burning but at which point does a population say, enough?
@@frankbutaric3565 Zip it Frank you too can go over to the Mumbai. Both my storefront and my vehicle were vandalized and stolen from. My insurance did not protect me because I was behind on a payment due to expanding store costs. Is that enough, for you? I am to be quiet and suffer the cost because you are incapable to holding your neighbor accountable. YOU are who is enabling the destroying the social cohesion of the country
The thing that pisses me off is the devastation to the environment that is happening. The oil, fuel, waste, being sucked into the ground and out to sea.
Then the people living in these countrys wonder why tourists do not come, farm lands wont grow, fish are becoming endangered etc etc.
I'ts not the people they are just doing a job .. if they don't they starve
EXACTLY CDN
Its thr companies... the people need work to buy food and support their families.. im sure you or i would do anything if we were desperate... think before you speak sir...
CDN Welding by
As I pointed out in a post above, this industry employs a miniscule fraction of the available labor force, but it's probably poisoning the environment for tens of millions.
Narrator says shipbreaking "...provides employment to about 66,000 workers in India..." Lemmie do the math; that's about ONE HALF of ONE ONE-TEN-THOUSANDTH, of the population, or 0.005 percent! And India poops out sixty-six thousand more babies every freakin' DAY! So, even if this 'industry' were ten times bigger, and performed in an environmentally responsible way, it would have ZERO measurable effect on India's poverty level. You have a bottomless pit of desperately poor people who will toil for a bowl of rice a day. Why would wage levels ever rise?
😬
Excellent film. Well done, and thanks!
Very impressive how aware and well articulated that guys is, despite being illiterate and spending his whole life in such extreme conditions.
He said illiterate not retarded
I came here from watching large cruise ships in stormy weather..........however i gave this documentary a chance and ended up watching the whole film, very touching, sometimes wee in the west just don't know how lucky wee are. I prey that the work with the union continues to improve for these men and women that work in these horrible conditions.
Well... back again for another "head check".
Amazing how one 22 minute video can make my "problems" instantly disappear.
We have an airplane breaking yard at our regional airport that literally everyone hates. It’s only here because it was kicked out of the last airport they used to occupy. I imagine it’s only a matter of time before they get thrown somewhere else. In 20 years I bet it’s also in India.
How could an aircraft scrapping outfit be problematic unless residential areas grew around it after it was established? Aircraft scrapping (I'm a lifelong aircraft mechanic familiar with the process) is simple, tidy and clean while recovering valuable alloys after removing parts for remanufacturing. NAME THE YARD and I'll find out for myself.
@@obfuscated3090 it’s loud as fuck on days when they are chewing the fuselages up. They also stack loads and loads of airplanes that they may or may not ever break down? Some have been sitting for years, kind of an eye sore. Our airport is next to one of the largest neighborhoods in town that was already there prior to the airport leasing the hangers to this company. Luckily I don’t live in the neighborhood any longer although my mother still does.
13:57 What?! You need an ID in India to vote? What a strange policy... And as for the poverty - that's just what happens in an overpopulated country ruled by people with power who just want more power and money.
Google it dumbass.
Many countries have an identification system for elections.
Perhaps ur country doesn't hold fair elections, that is why ur fucking shocked
Yep, somehow Biden and Pelosi claiming the black community can't get free ID or a driving licence isn't racism or the bigotry of low expectation!!
They've learnt how to win an election with a shit candidate so they want to disenfranchise 51% of voters...appalling. New voting rules are unconstitutional and encourages fraud but if you're flooding communities with illegals then it all makes sense. Democrats have lost all their integrity and no longer want to represent working classes-just want to ensure their votes don't count.
When your country's biggest resource is a total lack of environmental protection and worker safety laws, and an unending supply of desperate men.
Note the HUGE piles and truckloads of acetylene tanks around the yard; my bet is that the breaking yard pays more for cutting fuel than they do for labor; acetylene isn't cheap.
I think those are the oxygen cylinders. They seem to be using propane for the combustible fuel. Propane is much cheaper than acetylene. I used propane myself for doing commercial scrapping in the U.S., and learned from other scrappers and scrap yard owners. These propane tanks are shown piled at: 2:28, many blue with red. Also shown are the longer cylinders. I won't swear they are all only oxygen, but they usually go the very cheapest route they can. And you make a good point. If they paid the workers more, they would substitute machines for workers wherever possible
They make their own acetylene from carbide in most yards.
How much did they pay for the hotel to hold the conference.
That amount could pay the workers for at least a month.
Even the union guys want to live large.
"Every day one ship, every day one dead."- Alang proverb.
government should ensure that proper safety equipment is provided to all workers, this documentary is really raising this issue ,thanks for their efforts. 👍👍
8:15 - - i am thinking of the children who have to grow up in such places, then stay there the rest of their lives. Everything they know is distress, hunger, poverty and death 😥
But the government, they can afford building the world's biggest statue 🙄
God bless the hard working men of India.
At 2:21 that's some skilled torch work.
Right?! I was like damn! Clean ass cut!
+phlodel its on a compass
+superhyphy129 No, it's not on a radius cutter. Freehand. He's using his hand as a pivot point.
+phlodel india has one of the most skilled
people in the world ,
kailash verma which one is he?
The fellow at 2:21 is quite skilled with that cutting torch. One-handing a curve like that isn't as easy as it looks. Shame that talent gets so little reward. There is no progress for labor without collective bargaining.
This is actual men doing actual work. Holy shit
Breaks your heart to see such hardship and poverty in a world so full of rich bastards and fkn corrupt political leaders!!!
They are not taking care of port workers becz they are not contributing with their votes in elections ..
maybe these people should stop having kids everyone has like 8 of them cmon just stop
They have to have 8 so 1 or 2 survive to adulthood...
Who's going to look after them when they can't work any more?
@@justmeandjack 1-2 kids are ok but having 8-10 kids is not good.
@@JoshDisher insted of wasting money on rasing 8-12 kids hoping that only 1-2 kids will will last at end, they should raise only 1-2 kids. This will save them lots of money which they would have to spend on those extra 6-8 kids and survival of those 2 kids will be very high.
Hahahah i have only 4 should i make more ????
I think the birds are showing great resourcefulness, in using what is available and not necessarily that they must use it.
Someone has to earn too little for someone else to earn too much
Someone is allowed to earn more. There's millions of poor for thousands of rich. Allowed. That's the word dummy.
Even if the CEOs dropped their salaries; there’s not enough to pay hourly 125k a year.
Musk, Bezos etc have assets not $$ in the billions.
That said; look up properties/real estate. 40% of home sales go to investment properties; meaning the owner won’t be living in the home... they’re gonna rent it out.
This 40% cuts into the supply and keeps real estate inflated, pushing out middle/lower income earners.
Perpetual renters; perpetually poor.
These men and women work very hard. I can take you to many places where they work as hard. Their pay, while very low by European and other developed countries is none the less PAY, God bless these people as they are doing their best as uneducated people to better their situation. India today is improving itself just like China, Taiwan, Thailand, Japan and The Philippines have, via enterprise, not permanent state welfare. Let them have their job let them educate, let them improve. Our world condemnation will eliminate their job. Then what, they go back to the farm and no work. Let them decide, we have no right to look down on them. They are working. There are millions who cannot find a job. That is the hard truth.
True. UN promotes this condemnation because they don't really care about the workers. Instead of condemning this enterprise they should be helping to set up better living conditions and educate the people to help themselves. Notice, these people have no idea about hygiene and allow themselves to live in trash. This is totally fixable.
I appreciate your comment.
You know things are tough when the birds are making nests from steel wire.
Thank you for the very enlightening video. It is abhorrent that people should consider basic necessities like clean water, food, and basic hygiene a luxury. Please ignore the negative comments people choose to leave, they're angry and don't know how else to express themselves. God bless you!
Why aren't the subtitles, much larger, and, in black, so we can see and read it properly.? Didn't you check the video before you published it.?
If the living conditions are such hell and the wages barely keeps them fed, why do they keep having kids?
They have kids as a form of insurance for later life . To look after them when ( if) they get sick or old. And so the cycle repeats itself.
condoms are also expensive)
Check average IQs for these areas. The upper castes keep the lower oppressed, backward and starving.
5:28 "It is the responsibility of the employer to ensure every worker they hire is adequately paid, insured, and provided for by their provident fund, gratuity and pension"....."it is compulsory to provide PPE". Yeah.....right!! 26 year old worker gets killed, body lies in mortuary, employer doesn't give a fuck. Union boss call for strike and EVERYONE out.....one day later employer pays $9000 compensation to deceased mans family and everyone goes back to work. Glad to see also the dramatic changes brought about by the help of the Italian guy. The power of Trade Unionism.
In Canada, on job sites, you use the stuff around the site to build tools to make the job easier and solve the problems....scraps of all kinds would be used, invented by the workers, use the torches, other stuff on hand and make it easier
Great Documentary, I have visited the place and could relate to your material..
video be like: It is no doubt that hundreds of humans are suffering at these shipwrecks, but also... birds. Birds are suffering more and need to build their nests out of wires
just no
Edit: I understand ecology and stuff is important and the birds are very impacted but I value humans more
This is a country with a space program.
This video is much better than the one from National Geographic.
I used to work at this ship yard ,
Back then i had to walk ten miles in the snow every day just to get to work had to share my safety flip flops with another worker on the night shift . . . Never complained once!
3:20 dude almost yeeted himself off the ship
It is the people whom we must blame..The reason why we are back is simply because we accept what is given. Once these people raise their voices united then they can sort out a solution, Instead of living life with problems. Also, they know what need to be done to get the benefits, but yet these people accept things.
wow i didnt know how good i have it here till i watched this, i feel sorry for those people.
There’s many issues at play in this situation, ultimately it’s the people buying the scrap that drive the demand that creates this problem but it’s also overpopulation which is the case with so many undeveloped countries creating an endless supply of impoverished people desperate to work for a shitty existence so birth control should be addressed. If peoples lives weren’t so cheap the owners of these ship yards would have to employ systems and technology that would in the long run create a more economical and environmentally friendly solution to disposing of the old ships.
This type of illegal & inhumane work conditions cannot work in Western countries. Thus, these unfortunate folks in the developing countries have to risk their lives/health -- all for the sake of making a living wage. But, is this really living? This is HELL on earth, IMO.
This was the US and western nations 100+ years ago during our industrial revolutions. Workers fought against similar conditions and got all the rules and regulations we now enjoy. If India enacts similar regulations, these industries will move to Africa. The capitalist will always look to exploit whatever and whoever they can to make a buck.
Another video that makes me thankful for what I have and where I live!
Felling bad for the elder brother, RIP 😢💐
It is amazing what they do, but still the situation is so sad.
where are the BLM protesters?
Living rent free in your head………evidently.
They dont have basic necessities but they have satellite dishes? Priority?
who said they don't have basic necessities? all the workers are well fed and have homes, and the kids go to school.
You make this show sound so melodramatic, well guess what? There are starving people all over the world, most of their own making. The 'green revolution' was to increase the yields of crops, yet instead of learning a lesson, you continue to breed, thus out distancing the supply and demand for food. Oh when will over populated nations learn from their mistakes?
@Scott Broaddus
Everyone makes their own circumstances! It takes initiative to get ahead, regardless what country you happen to be living in. Most low IQ people resign their mindset to continue living within their status with no thought of improving their quality of life. That is a fact!
@Scott Broaddus
The percentage of the world who enjoys such modern conveniences has tried and tried again to help third world countries, but for whatever reason they don't want to improve their situation. Boatloads of dough won't help anyone who doesn't want improvement. Why does first world countries go on to continue making advances, and yet the third world can't even help themselves? Now, that is a more than fair question.....
@Scott Broaddus
Wow, buddy. Your self-assuming mentality will be your downfall. Quit your sniveling and go do something yourself, and quit blaming others that have worked themselves out of poverty. Lord knows, there is plenty right here in the USA. Maybe we should devote all help for the poverty stricken here in my country, and fuck the rest of the world. However, my god given conscience doesn't allow me to be that kind of person. Obviously, all of the money in the world won't help unless you want to help yourself. Get off the pity pot and go do something yourself, you dirty bastard! Yeah..... what the hell are you doing for someone less capable than yourself? After all, there is always someone with less material goods than you, no matter who you happen to be.
@Scott Broaddus
It pisses me off how Indians treat the planet. Filth and garbage everywhere. You shit where you damn well please. You litter like there is no end. Recycle isn't even a word in your vocabulary. Shit beach for example? F'k me! If you complain about no bathrooms? Go and build them yourself. A shovel is a very inexpensive item. Start at ground level, then go from there. All you have to do, is to make it a community project. A good old fashioned barn raising, after all, many hands make the load light. I was born poor, but I was determined to improve my situation. I saved a few bucks to buy a few tools, and from there, I started a very successful plumbing company. Nobody, and I mean nobody, gave me a damn thing. Everything I own, I worked my ass off for and bought myself. No thanks to banks, family, or friends! I have given much back in contributions, and expect nothing in return. I give freely from the heart. But it burns my ass to hear people like yourself complain that other countries aren't doing enough. Wake up and get f'kn real for a change! If nothing changes.... nothing changes! The USA was built and made by hard working, diligent people. Our history only goes back about 200 years. Yet your history goes back for eons. Why, for gods sake, haven't you people accomplished very much within the time allotted?
5:12 "Birds have to use wire to build their nests because there's nothing else."
They could also fly a couple of kilometers away and build decent nests with branches. It's not like there's a shortage of bird real estate on the entire planet.
We have doves build nest from stainless wire and we have plenty of trees around the refinery.
There is 10 km if space on the port ..the employer could easily provide housing water electricity and the insurance and ids ...but the govt ignores things and the employers only earn do not care for the person who is responsible for their earnings and profits ...If this documentry changed only 20% of situation about the sanitation medicals or the safty of the workers than we are very thankfull ..
Praveen: Unfortunately it isn't just that easy. If the employer provides all these things, then costs go up and the ship breaking goes to another country.
India is a developing country & they have to go through the stages. As they develop, there are more opportunities, then the yards will have to pay more. Eventually, that will make it so the yards can't survive and another developing country will start breaking ships. That will happen because there are better opportunities for the workers in India.
It will be kind of a natural evolution. Conditions in India get better, fewer people are willing to work breaking ships, the yards have to pay more & more until ship breaking is no longer a viable business in India. When that happens, there will be better opportunities for workers.
If you try to force it, force employers to pay more and provide a bunch of benefits, you will increase costs and force the ship breaking companies to leave India before India's economy has grown enough to have other opportunities for the workers. It's kind of a sad catch 22.
The workers lives are very hard but they are there because it's the best and possibly the only opportunity they have. If you go in & try to force the companies to do better, you end up driving the companies to another country and the workers lose the only option they had.
Don't get me wrong, I am not defending these companies. That's just the reality of the world.
It's sad and all these people don't have a voice they can't get an ID to vote, so it'll just keep repeating itself. I feel really sorry for these people say nobody cares.
a five year old video, they talk about "safety". and nothing has happened.
A very, very good documentary, well shot, well edited and fairly well written abet the British regionalisms. But a bit detached from the key theme of a bird's nest of wire. The subtitles are nearly impossible to read! Why not a bigger font and a contrasting color?
Brings home the truth!
This is just a symptom of a much larger issue. IE The lack of education and jobs in india. Something that has to be addressed by the government. Corruption and greed in the government will keep anything meaningful from being done though.
@Russ Gallagher what do u think creating jobs is easy right??? Literally people are living like insects in our country 1.3 is not a small no. !! We were fucked over 200years literally a huge amount of people are below poverty line thats not peice of cake ti give everyone job yeah as far education is consider it is free upto 14 and even after that government help the people who want to study ... literally a guy who use fix bicycle tire is now ias or u can say highest post in coyntry for adminstrative services who know shit about india Pakistan Bangladesh and any other asian country !!! Who lives in those countries where peoplr dont even the full form dc eho dont even what nacl is??? Literally a whole channel mark something i dont remember the name exactly he interviewed more than 100s of people in California florida about basic things about America they cant even answer that so u better take care of ur country and people !!!
@SHERMAN YOUNG indeed. In most if not all countries also. We here in the US have fallen so far since the 1950's its not even funny. Used to be number 1 in a lot of area's. Now we don't even hit the top 10 in most of them. We are though the top in three area's. Most number per capita of its citizens in prison, Number 1 in killing people/ability to kill (War) and last but not least number one in the Financial world. Granted that last one is mainly because we have such a good military and if anyone bucks the status quo we tend to bomb them into the stone age. Even though we (CIA) originally put them in power in some shape or form. (Finances, weapons, Training, etc)
The cold war the US fought through the 50's -90's and the means we used to win it are now coming home to bite us. You arm fanatics and put them in power..........Sooner or later those fanatics are going to turn on those who for whatever reason decided to abandon them.
nothen like moving rusty metal with sandals..
Note the workers being patted down as they leave the yard; that's to make sure they aren't walking out with any valuable metals like copper, brass, bronze, or stainless steel, or aluminum.
It’s criminal that the company held off paying compensation and cremation for the poor guy who was crushed in work. 700000 rupees = £7100 for a life is nothing. It ended up with the workers going on a union strike , low and behold less than 24 hrs after, the funds and compensation was released, I am disgusted with these companies that try to squeeze every last rupee from their workers, I hear the comments about killing the local wildlife and ecology, I agree that it is wrong but only through petition “:government and the other countries that would make it more difficult for the companies to try and get away with it, I pray that there’s no more deaths and that the people will stand up with the workers and get what is due to the people of that industry....
they get paid $3 a day. thats why. Under the owner's logic, he's worth $3 a day. He's not worth 10 years worth of pay to them. It should be criminal to even pay that low. to not have safety equipment etc. cremation is actually kind of weird as the reason for compensation.
@@aj-sz8mu I agree with your statement, I used to work for b+q similar to Home Depot in the USA, when these companies first emerged and growing every bigger responsibility came into the supplier who supplied them with hardwares etc, it was brought to the stores attention about the workers health and safety whilst in working etc. There was a huge uproar on sweatshop practice, so clause saying that adequate ppe should be supplied to the workers at the company owners cost NOT the workers purse.
The only time that the workers would be bettered paid, if we stipulated that, or Union, workers helped to petition the boss, the only problem there would be is that the workers could be made unemployed and replaced by the following day. The workers don’t have any rights, or if they have, then they would be very very basic. It’s only by petition the government and the business themselves saying, if YOU don’t pay more your workers, then we will be buy from someone else! And agree to pay more than before.....phil
No race of humans should have to live like this in 2019. SHAME ON THAT GOVERNMENT. God please help feed, bath and provide shelter for these people!
Shame on government i will give u 100thousand person in poor condition and u have make everyone wealthy education and fullfill all basic need then i will see how u will do ...our government person have more that million of people in territories ...
_Nitin _ Well, you should really first learn how to write before you give a reply like that.
Russ Gallagher Let me guess! You are one of those that profit from this shame, don’t know what government is? Look it up !
Race, what are you talking about, this is about people not race or any other bloody division, how old are you 13? 1F
Why have children when they cannot survive 😭
how to stop them from mating
brijesh mishra im not sure. Maybe contraceptives and safe sex education
@@KevAlberta These both are out of reach of these people. The man is illiterate so is his wife.
V E no it doesn’t hurt my feelings. But it does tic me off that they basically condemn their children to the same fate their parents brought them into

Look, America has it’s own issues. No question. Plenty of things America gets wrong. But any job site like this would be shout down immediately. Unsafe work conditions are not tolerated in the states.
Another example of how unintelligent people get robbed by the industry.
They need a fukkin revolution, not just empty conversations.
they need durex
nice documentry ... good work.
Nothen like speed loading steel into the back of a truck with sandals on... 👍
"The UN has added ship-breaking to its agenda." That's nice. That should keep them talking for a decade while they are on expenses. And they will conclude that there should be more women in the ship-breaking yard.
Brilliant deduction Morbius well said.
Man,people whom own these ships should take better care and not be so greedy....it's sick to see people have to live and work like this to try and survive......I'm can totally understand and support unions after seeing something like this
These people should get together and change things
Human life is a commodity. As a commodity's availability rises the unit value plummets. There are now over twice as many people in the world now as there were at my birth in the late 60's, and fertility rates ensure this glut is going to drive the unit value down further.
***** That sounds alot like Germany 1939.
Dreem All Daye China is still lowering its population through limiting children per couple. It's awkward and imperfect, but it's working. The concept is proactive, and more countries are seeing its benefit.
There are 2 ways mankind regulates population, and that model is less "messy" than the traditional method.
***** Nature will always be nature. These are people not some pest weed in a garden.
Dreem All Daye You're right on both points, Dreem :
1- Weeds don't impact the earth's biosphere anywhere near the levels we do.
2- Nature WILL always be nature. Any population of creature (algae blooms, deer herds, humans, etc.) can reach a levels of over -saturation. When this occurs, those animals compete more for resources with greater ferocity, starve when those resources have been exhausted, and are poisoned by their overabundant waste.
***** Don't even get me started if i could kill everyone of us tomorrow i would without hesitation.
But for the grace of God, Vishnu, Brahma, Buddha, Thor, Crom, Zeus or whomever go I! Sad that there are rich men who could make the lives of these forgotten humans a bit better...What a dismal existence...A hell on earth...Love and change for good unto them...
Wow! Makes me really appreciate what I have and live for in america
Documentary was covered some years back, now shipbreaking companies do compile with gobal practice for safety of workers, it should be other way round the shipowner should not sell the ship to company who don't adhere the safety and environment policy.
Your subtitles are too small and so briefly on the screen that they should be redone. Try “freeze framing” to give viewers time to read them.
yep
I live in poverty here in the United States but I am wealthy beyond measure compared to these poor people. Thank you Jesus for blessing me
Ty Jesus for making you live in poverty well thats fucking stupid
Jesus has nothing to do with it. It is my tax money that supports you. Try thanking me.
The compensation should have been £70.000, or more, not £7000.! I understand that what they got is probably a LOT of money to them, but, to the yard owners, it's peanuts.! How else do you the yard owners learn.?
It's disgusting.
And my coworker is worried which trash can his plastic water bottle goes in 🙄
hatred drugs and violence is destroying our country but at least we dont live like this
This was hard to watch, the living conditions for these workers is unimaginable. Breaks my heart.
In the future, and the heads of the ship breaking companies will obviously have to agree with this because of its efficiency which is a word that the heads of most ship owning companies can't understand, that heavy equipment will be used including magnatized lifters and large scale shears will be used to remove the steel of these ships. I am seeing a lot of hand work to unweld the ships which is something certain specialized demolition equipment can do in a quater of the time than people can do individually. And it will be a lot safer. Most of the steel is 2" thick which can be handled by large scale sheers on the end of certain pivoting arms. With the use of magnetic lifters, and empty rail gondola cars near by the steel can be moved easily to the foundry. The real problem is these ship owners allowing there ships to fall into disrepair in the first place!
"Cheap labour rates to gain more profit"! THAT'S EVERYWHERE!
700000 rupees =about 10000 dollars not much for a 26 years life and only because this was on tv and we think we have it bad in the US
yes, but when the average wage for a ship worker is around 4000 rupees/month it's not bad.
Hi Prathamesh,
thanks.
We've added the video on our channel favorites :)
Thank you for the good insight.....
really?!?! 16:20 they gave the mans family $700,000 rupees...thats just over $9000 USD...THE PRICE OF A HUMAN LIFE AINT SHIT EH
These people had to go strike to get the employer to pay $95 to properly cremate a employee. That is very, very sad.
They can’t even wash?! These poor precious people oh my god no one deserves a life like this
so sad but will always go on . look at dubai people living in slums to build a city only the rich can afford to live in .
Insulting when he says they lack aptitude when they simply lack opportunity.
@Russ Gallagher where on earth do you think your bloody mobile phone, your laptop, tv and many parts of your car comes from?
You make opportunity no one hands it to you on a silver plate.
Nah it’s aptitude, they’re all thick as two short planks
