Samsung factories are still a horrible place to work

[onehandle]

According to the latest third-party labor conditions report, working for the South Korean smartphone maker is still a horrible experience, especially if you’re one of its Chinese suppliers.

An audit of 100 of Samsung’s suppliers in China found issues like overtime, proper saftey gear and training are still prominent issues. You can read the full 69-page report on Samsung’s site, but here’s a quick rundown of the egregious conditions:

Of the 100 sites surveyed 59 were found to provide insufficient safety equipment, such as earplugs and safety goggles. 33 sites failed to properly manage sewage and waster disposal. Three were found to exceed limits for dust and noise levels.

It’s also mentioned that most of the factories don’t comply with China’s legally permitted overtime hours, while half have workers under 18 handling hazardous chemicals, and a third don’t provide social insurance.

1. Crimes against humanity IMO, so many of these outfits seem similar, worker exploitation. Often

I think few people realize the pain and suffering by some to bring to them their toys. I'm somewhat guilty of it too. Samsung makes some good products. I wish the world weren't so fucked up. Often, I think only extraterrestrial intervention will clean up earth from the scourge, such as this, by greed and sociopaths at the helm for profit.
