Technological giants such as Samsung and Apple, are often criticized for the security problems typical of their suppliers in China. However, this is not just a problem related to these two companies, but rather a general problem with the fact that Samsung and Apple they are among the biggest customers of the companies in which the workers have to endure bad working conditions. Well, after Samsung released a document today regarding this hot topic, it's possible that this will be a serious issue for a few years to come.
In fact, Samsung writes in its administration that up to 59 suppliers from China do not meet safety standards and therefore plans to deploy its teams and finances to improve the conditions in the factories. The company adds that even though some suppliers have a problem with only partially complying with safety regulations, others do not provide their workers with appropriate safety accessories at all, and therefore health protection in the workplace is practically non-existent. The more positive news from the report is that none of the component suppliers for Samsung employ minors, and none of the companies have a problem with exceeding government-mandated overtime.
