A month ago, after the release of a report on the employment of child labor by Samsung (microblogging) in China, the US labor rights protection organization China Labor Watch released a report again stating that Samsung’s eight factories in China have violated the law and Abuse of labor.
According to the above report, this was discovered by Chinese labor observers from May to August this year by interviewing and investigating eight factories in Samsung, including Shenzhen, Huizhou, Tianjin and Suzhou. On September 5, when the reporter contacted the above-mentioned factories, most of them refused to interview on the grounds of leading a business trip. As of press time, Samsung said that it is submitting the issue to the headquarters, and others have not commented.
Have been investigated history
A month ago, China Labor Watch reported that Samsung’s mobile phone and DVD player foundry in China, Haige Guoli, employed seven children under the age of 16 and forced employees to work overtime. According to the report, the child labor of Haige Guoli faces “the same harsh working conditions†as adults, but the wages are only 70% of the latter.
Samsung then launched a survey of Hagrid Guoli, and the results of the review released this week denied the accusation. Samsung said that although Haige’s 30% monthly average turnover rate has imposed restrictions on the review, Samsung’s investigators conducted face-to-face verification, enrollment, and one-on-one interviews with interns. In the form, all employees of Haige Guoli were reviewed and no problems were found.
However, Samsung also found that Hagrid Guoli does have some management deficiencies and potential security risks. For example, the phenomenon of fines for late or absenteeism, as well as cases of overtime overtime or overtime work for more than 9 hours per week, and deficiencies in certain health and safety safeguards, such as the absence of a medical office.
In this regard, Samsung has asked Haige Guoli to immediately rectify, otherwise the contract will be terminated.
On September 5, Li Qiang, founder of China Labor Watch, once again questioned Samsung’s investigation. “As Samsung said, 30% of workers leave the factory every month. Samsung’s investigation is not necessarily comprehensive. In addition, Samsung checks the ID cards of employees and student workers. According to our understanding, child laborers use fake ID cards to enter. Factory." Li Qiang told reporters.
He also questioned Samsung's investigation in the form. Samsung announced on August 8 that it has reviewed Haig Guoli twice this year and found no violations by Haig Guoli. However, after the release of China Labor Watch's report, Samsung's subsequent investigation found that the factory had overtime work overtime, did not pay workers to work in advance, and did not provide medical facilities and other irregularities. "This can indicate that Samsung's previous two reviews failed." Li Qiang said.
Overtime up to 186 hours
The eight factories involved in the report include six factories directly controlled by Samsung and two supply factories. The employees range from 500 to 3,500, and the products include home appliances, mobile phones, DVD players, digital printing, etc. Product line.
This 124-page survey report lists some of the more serious employment problems. For example, in the eight factories, except for Samsung Kejian, workers in the remaining seven factories have at least six months of overtime per month for over 100 hours, which is more than the legal time. Among them, the Tianjin Samsung Vision Factory has a working time of 186 hours per month during the peak season, with only one to two days of rest.
The organization found that basically every factory did not protect the legitimate rights and interests of workers in labor contracts. These illegal infringements are reflected in labor contracts that only allow workers to sign blanks, do not give workers copies of labor contracts, or even sign contracts. For example, Tianjin Samsung Electronics, Tianjin Samsung Vision, Tianjin Intas and Tianjin Canter have not signed legal labor contracts with most workers.
A more serious problem is the abuse of underage workers. According to the report, three factories including Tianjin Samsung Vision, Huizhou Samsung and Shenzhen Samsung Kejian employ workers under the age of 18. Their workload is the same as that of an adult worker and is not subject to any additional protection. Among them, the Huizhou Samsung factory even modified the names on these underage workers' ID cards, which resulted in the management of those who had left the company. Workers in the three factories reported that child laborers used adult ID cards to enter the factory.
It is worth noting that after Hagrid's profit, Samsung has stepped up its review of the factory. Not long ago, Samsung said that before the end of September, Samsung headquarters will set up and dispatch a survey team of more than 100 people to conduct on-the-spot investigations on 105 Chinese suppliers that only supply Samsung. Before the end of the year, Samsung will face Samsung. Data review was conducted with 144 Chinese suppliers supplied by other companies. If the supplier does not comply with Samsung's policy or does not take corrective measures, Samsung will suspend the cooperation relationship between the two parties.
