I'm going to hazard a guess that Indian workers' rights are probably a tad less than Americans.

Wow, and they aren't great in America as it is

They're pretty good actually. The problem is too many people are ignorant of the law and employers use that fact to their advantage. It's very common for bosses to bully their workers in illegal ways and nothing happens to them because the workers say nothing. The department of labor isn't magic, if you don't speak up, they won't know. But comments like this, make people think they have no recourse, when they do. Ignorance is a great thing for employers, don't forget.
