Working conditions in the Hungarian electronics sector

The Flex Syndrome
Low-cost electronics production facilities have been established in Central and Eastern Europe (Hungary, Czech Republic, Poland, Romania and Estonia) to supply the European market. Although working conditions within electronics manufacturing companies in South-East Asia have been well documented, there has been little research carried out in the Central and Eastern European region. This research on the working conditions in the electronics manufacturing sector of Hungary aims to fill this knowledge gap and describes what type of problems Hungarian employees are facing.
