【原文】Technology Factory Sweatshops Face Scrutiny In China February 23, 2009 | By Editorial Staff | Print This Page | Email This Page
After the U.S.-based National Labor Committee published a report critical of technology companies' operations in China, the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition says it will now conduct an investigation.
The NLC's latest report claims that many companies such as IBM and Dell are purchasing keyboard components from Meitai, a Chinese company that reportedly runs sweatshop-like conditions in its factories. Workers of Meitai are reportedly asked to sit on a hardwood stools to work for 12 hours a day, seven days a week, and they are only given a two-day leave each month. NLC claims the workers are forced to work overtime and asked not to look up, or put hands in their pockets, or talk with each other or listen to music when working and they are required to install a key on each keyboard every 1.1 second. The workers are also asked to supervise each other during their daily work.
NLC's report says that if a worker breaks Meitai's rule, he or she will be punished. The workers are apparently locked in the factory for four days a week and asked to live in a crowded dormitory. Though they are promised to get a payment of CNY4.37 each hour, they actually receive about CNY2.8 for each hour's work, which is lower than what is necessary for the local living standard.
Lenovo has already commented publicly and said it has never purchased any products directly from Meitai, but it says it will ask its suppliers to probe into the issue. HP says it will wait for EICC's investigation results and take corresponding measures then. It also claims that Meitai is not its direct supplier.
IBM, Microsoft, Dell, Lenovo and HP are all members of EICC, a self-governing organization of the technology sector in the U.S. that aims for better corporate social responsibility among its members.
中国科技工厂血汗内幕面临调查
在美国国家劳动委员会发布一篇谴责中国科技企业运作方式的报告后，电子工业公民联盟宣布它将进行一次调查。
国家劳动委员会最近的报告称，IBM、戴尔等许多公司向一家中国公司美泰（音）订购键盘，而这家公司的工厂实则是个血汗工厂。据报道，美泰的员工被要求坐在硬木板凳上，每天工作12小时，每周七天，他们每月只有2天假期。国家劳动委员会称，工人被强制加班，要求他们在工作时不要抬头，或把手放进口袋里，或相互交谈、听音乐；他们被要求每1.1秒安装一个键。他们也被要求在日常生活中相互监督。
国家劳动委员会报告说，如果有人违反美泰的规则，他或她将会被处罚。工人每周被锁在厂子里四天，住在拥挤的宿舍。尽管允诺说他们每小时有4.37元收入，但实际只有2.8元，这低于当地最低生活保障线。
联想已经公开对此做了评论，它说，没有直接从美泰进过货，但它说自己会让供货部门深究这件事情。惠普表示，自己将等待电子行业行为规范的调查结果，再采取相应措施。它也宣布美泰不是自己直接供货商。
IBM、微软，戴尔，联想，惠普是电子行业规范联盟的成员，那一家美国行业自治组织，致力于推动成员的社会责任。
