The top 23 worst sweatshops in China owned by overseas/foreign capital/companies #1. FOXCONN--there are already enough bad media about how they exploit the Chinese workers. #2 Dell workshop in Xiamen. Each worker has to assemble more than 100 computers each single DAY, paid for only 5 Yuan/hour. So on average, each computer assembled for less than 0.4 Yuan (=5.3 US pennies). Workers have to stand the whole day, in case they sit down (there are very few chairs anyway) and saw by managers, will be warned. #3. Walmart #4 Kentuky Fried Chicken, use only temp. workers #5 ASUS computer, most of their workers are under age 18, and have too stand as long as 12 hours a day! most of times workers in Shanghai have to worker over time as late as 1-2 AM #6 Snesne Electronic (a South Korean company). Chinese workers have to work as long as 14-16 hours a day in their QingDao sweatshop, workers are NOT allow to take leaves, NO off even on Sunday or other holidays. Base pay is as low as 300 Yuan a month, adding the overtime pay, one month is only about 1000 Yuan (for about 420 hours in total!). The (chemical) pollution in the workshop is very bad, workers lost their voice in less than one month after working there, and could not recover even after the treatment. ... #17 The SINOPEC (this is a surprise!) This list is in Chinese, here is the link blog.sina.com.cn
