Nå blir det midlertidig stopp i samarbeidet.

Samsung oppdaget barnearbeid hos en av sine leverandører

Skeeptisk, selv om dem gjorde en god ting etter dem oppdaget feilen med at det er barnearbeid, så skulle det vært omvent, der dem oppdaget det før det skjer, å ha litt kontroll på leverandørene i milliardfirma burde være mulig.

Veldig bra at det finnes en uavhengig organisasjon som passer på arbeidstakerne sine rettigheter.. Bra at Samsung tar tak i det og ordner opp.

Det er veldig bra at slike ting kommer frem i lyset, men var det egentlig Samsung selv som fant tilfeller av barnearbeid?

Sist fant de jo overhodet ikke noe barnearbeid:

Fra CLWs rapport.

On June 30, Samsung published its 2014 sustainability report titled Global Harmony. Within, Samsung says that it inspected working conditions at 200 suppliers in 2013 and no instances of child labor were found.

After allegedly inspecting hundreds of suppliers, Samsung did not find one child worker. Yet in just one Samsung supplier factory, CLW has uncovered several children employed without labor contracts, working 11 hours per day and only being paid for 10 of those hours.

Og utfra CLWs rapport var det CLW selv som avdekket en rekke avvik, og har dette å si om Samsungs "innsats":

CLWs Executive Director Li Qiang said, Samsungs social responsibility reports are just advertisement. Samsung has put its energy into audits and the production of these reports, but these things are meant to appease investors and dont have any real value for workers. Samsungs monitoring system is ineffective and has failed to bring about improvements for workers. What Samsung says is not important; whats important is their actions.
