Samsung finds labor violations at China suppliers
Samsung conducted a four week audit of 105 suppliers in China after allegations it was ignoring illegal labor practices. China Labor Watch, a New York-based labor rights group, said in August that Samsung's suppliers hired children and working conditions were "inhumane." Samsung said its audit team found no child labor. During China Labor Watch's investigation earlier this year, a group member posed as a factory worker. The group says it found that the children often carried out dangerous tasks, resulting in injury, and were paid about 70 percent of what adults made for the same amount of work. Samsung denied claims that its manufactures are breaking labor laws and released this statement to CBS News in August: "Samsung Electronics has conducted two separate on-site inspections on HEG's working conditions this year but found no irregularities on those occasions.
