China factories break labor rules

GUANGZHOU, China – Two factories that make Microsoft Corp. products in
southern China violated overtime regulations and failed to properly
register the use of workers aged 16 to 18, officials said Monday.
The problems at the plants in the city of Dongguan were initially
raised last week by the National Labor Committee, a New York-based
nonprofit that monitors the treatment of foreign workers by U.S.
companies. The group alleged that the teen laborers worked long shifts
and were not allowed to use bathrooms during working hours at the
plants, owned by Taiwan-based KYE Systems Corp.
The factories make Webcams, computer mice and Xbox controllers for
Microsoft, the world's biggest software company.
Investigators with Dongguan's human resources bureau said in a report
that factories are allowed to hire workers between the ages of 16 and
18 as long as the laborers are registered with the authorities. The
KYE factories had 385 such workers — most supplied by vocational
schools — and 326 weren't properly registered, the report said.
Employees were also forced to work an excessive amount of overtime in
March, clocking about 280 hours, the report said. Copies of the labor
contract also weren't given to employees, the document said.
But officials said that based on interviews with workers, there were
no restrictions against using the restroom during shifts. The report
said the company's policy was to give workers 10-minute breaks for
every two hours worked.
KYE Systems Corp. spokesman Lai Jin-hui told The Associated Press,
"Assembly line workers are allowed to go to bathroom only if they
report the need."
Lai insisted that factories did nothing wrong regarding overtime and
had followed regulations that limit the workweek to 60 hours. But Lai
acknowledged that the factories failed to properly register workers
and would now fix the problem.
The human resources bureau report said the factories have been ordered
to comply with the law and would be monitored closely.
Last week, Microsoft said it does quarterly onsite assessments and
gets weekly reports from KYE about certain labor and safety criteria.
The software maker said a team of independent auditors would visit the
factories and monitor the situation pending results of its inspection.

I wish you liberals would pay more attention to grade school math. 16
hour days 7 days a week is 112 hours a week.
LMAO at TMT who obviously does not have too many calculators.

TMT is simply a mental runt. Worst of the litter.
He should have been put down at birth. While it may not have increased
the value of the litter..it would have been kinder to society as a
whole.

"First Law of Leftist Debate
The more you present a leftist with factual evidence
that is counter to his preconceived world view and the
more difficult it becomes for him to refute it without
losing face the chance of him calling you a racist, bigot,
homophobe approaches infinity.
This is despite the thread you are in having not mentioned
race or sexual preference in any way that is relevant to
the subject." Grey Ghost
Beam Me Up Scotty
Be nice... TMT expects free health care too, and free everything. TMT
isn't used to having to figure out working hours because he's a
Socialist that thinks he shouldn't have to work at all for what he gets,
so it's a foreign concept to him....

Whaaaaaa!
Dummy, you need to learn one thing about rules in China... there are
no rules.
You do what the state tells you to do, just like we're starting to do
in America.

The results of an outcome based education. No wonder the IRS reports
an increasing number of math errors.
