Another Samsung supplier accused of employing child labor

Earlier this year, one of Samsung's suppliers was accused of employing child labor in its factory, an accusation that wasn't unfounded as the Korean manufacturer found evidence of child labor being used and cut its orders from said supplier by 30 percent. Now, another of Samsung's suppliers is being accused of employing children, this time the Urban Construction Vocational School in Chengdu, China. According to New York's Child Labor Watch, the vocational school sent some students to work at a factory that builds phones for Samsung, though the school itself is denying any such allegations.

Samsung has proven in the past that it's zero tolerance policy against child labor isn't just for show, and it's likely it will take big steps to rectify things if actual evidence of child labor is found at the Chengdu factory. Child Labor Watch has said that it will be gathering evidence and providing it to the necessary authorities, and it will only be a matter of time before the truth comes to light.
