Finnish organisation, Finn Watch follows SwedWatch to decry the inhuman working conditions in Chinese factories
Wednesday, 27 June 2012
When westerners cry that most of their jobs have been outsources to
China and China on the other side boast that it is recording 8 to 10
percent economic growth, and also Western firms report huge corporate
profits, all that comes down to the slavish ways the Chinese workers
are put through.
As they could not do it here, they find it easy to do it over there –
in China where the government has nothing to do with quality of life of
its powerless people or the feel of any form of individual rights for
its common citizen. Western companies including companies from Finland
and Sweden have seen this chance and have infiltrated the country en
masse and are sapping out any form of decadency and components and
humanity from those weak Chinese in the name capitalism.
This is just
the same as slave trade where these western companies would want that
the weaker and poorer less protected Chinese worker are used in an
inhumane manner to produce good for them so that they can sell at
absolutely low prices in the west and make massive profits.
Finnish Civic Organization, Finn Watch has been the next organisation
sounding the alarm about garden products sold in Finland which are
manufactured under inhumane conditions in China. This includes air
mattresses, garden furniture other products produced in Chinese
factories sold in Finland.
The situation is better than a few years ago, but still it is plain
that wages are not sufficient to live on and that employees are forced
to work nearly 13 hours a day six days a week - but with limited work
safety and occupational health support.
Factory workers had not right to organize themselves and their ability to complain about the abuses were almost nonexistent.
Finn Watch has visited factories in Guangdong province in China where,
among other Swedish companies as we reported yesterday, such as Clas
Ohlsson, auto parts dealer, Biltema, as well as Fiskars them
manufactured products.
Swedish organisation, Swedwatch has also complained about the behaviour
of Swedish companies producing in China and have called on the market
to take note that as they buy these products, they are doing so by
consuming the sweat and blood of some people. These people are
producing goods which they are pay very low and persecuted if the
complain. They are also not allowed to ask for more or for better and
we use these products to better our quality of life. How about the
powerless Chinese?
