Context: work in the electronic industry. Would you translate this as "long hours" or "work load"? The text is about working in the electronic maquilas in Mexico...

Context: Las cargas que normalmente encontramos en las empresas electrónicas, son cargas de trabajo muy fuertes, mas que incluso que en otras ramas de la industria, en otras ramas de las maquiladoras. Hay cargas muy intensas en la industria electrónica. Poca seguridad y también la exposición a productos, sustancias que son altamente peligrosas para la salud humana. A demás de que producen una gran cantidad de deshechos tóxicos.
