Hasbro, Mattel Toy Suppliers Slammed In Labor Report
November 22, 2015

China Labor Watch released results of undercover investigation.
Laborers at some toy factories in China work without adequate protection, toiling long hours with few, if any, breaks. Many facilities lack proper fire safety measures and subject workers to poor living conditions. For some, quitting means giving up earned wages. According to a new report by China Labor Watch, which investigated five major factories that supply toys to Hasbro and Mattel, labor violations are rampant in Chinese toy factories.
China Labor Watch sent undercover investigators to the factories, which altogether employ about 20,000 laborers. “Over the past 20 years, toy brands and retailers have reaped tremendous benefits from the labor and sometimes even the lives of Chinese workers,” China Labor Watch Program Coordinator Kevin Slaten said in a press release, “yet these companies fail to respect labor rights and to ensure that workers also enjoy the fruits of the toy industry’s success.”
The report found instances of hiring discrimination, mandatory and excessive overtime work, unpaid work, broken labor contracts, poor safety measures and few paths for laborers to seek recourse. Many of these issues also break Chinese labor law.

何謂“萬張標語萬里行”？簡而言之就是 我將在未來十個月內去大陸二十個城市粘貼一萬張反共標語。

本人曾經粘貼過大量反共標語，算是一個民間草根民主人士，本人的志願是成為一名職業民主人士，將反共作為未來的事業。
歡迎大家瀏覽我的facebook相冊，裡面有大量反共標語圖片，足以證明我的訴求是可信的。
