CLW says that it sent an undercover investigator into the aforementioned factory last month, and uncovered quite a few child workers, with five of them found by only the third day. According to the report, child labor and underage student workers are employed at the factory during busy seasons, with the minors said to work for 11 hours a day for three to six months, without overtime pay and social insurance. In the report, CLW also provides various photos that claim to show child workers at Shinyang.
Preventing child labor has been an enormous task for many major corporations, including Samsung and Apple, and the latest report will likely spark further discussion on just how serious companies are in their attempts to keep their suppliers in check. According to CLW: “For two years CLW has repeatedly exposed the poor labor conditions in Samsung’s supply chain. Samsung continues to fail to implement its own code of conduct and social commitments, and its suppliers as a result continue not to take these standards seriously.”
