It's a strange world. Some people get rich and others eat shit and die.
Hunter S. Thompson
The report by the National Labour Committee, a US advocacy group for the rights of workers used by big corporations, alleged that 16 and 17 year olds were working 15-hour shifts in crowded conditions often without air-conditioning.
Managers at the KYE Systems factory in Dongguan, southern China, were accused of controlling and bullying workers who sleep 14 to a room and "shower" by taking sponge baths from a small plastic bucket of water.
"The factory is very crowded. In one workshop measuring around 105ft by 105ft, there were nearly 1,000 workers.
"In the summer, temperatures can exceed 86 degrees and workers leave their shifts dripping in sweat.
"It is only when the foreign clients show up that management turns on the air conditioning," the report's authors alleged, citing testimony from workers.
