Despite Law, Job Conditions Worsen in China
From New York Times:
Liu Pan, a 17-year-old factory worker, was crushed to death last April when the machine he was operating malfunctioned.
Somehow Mr. Liu became stuck in the machine, his sister Liu Yan recalled during a tearful interview in a village near the factory.
“When we got his body, his whole head was crushed,” Ms. Liu said. “We couldn’t even see his eyes.”
Investigating the accident, inspectors found a series of labor and safety violations at the factory, Yiuwah Stationery, which supplies cards, gift boxes and other paper goods to Disney, the British supermarket chain Tesco and other companies.
