Staff writer, with CNAA female caregiver from Indonesia has been rescued after allegedly being held captive by her employer, the New Taipei City Department of Labor Affairs said on Saturday. The woman had allegedly been barred from leaving the residence of her employer in Banciao District (板橋) for several months, the department said. Prior to the rescue, inspectors had attempted to visit her several times, but Lin had used excuses to keep the inspectors out, it said. Lin told the department that the inspector lacked good manners while on duty and accused them of entering the residence without permission, it said. The department has only 41 inspectors to oversee nearly 100,000 migrant workers, creating tremendous pressure and a heavy workload, it said.
