Text appealuDear Mr Iger, I am writing to voice my concern over persistent problems in Disney’s supply chain. In May, China Labor Watch reported that a 17 year old boy was mutilated by an unsafe machine while working at Yiuwah, a Disney-audited supplier factory with many serious labor problems. After questions over whether Disney would abandon the factory, Disney released a response at the end of July that outlined a number of commitments to improve labor violations. In response to a deadly accident where an under-aged laborer was crushed to death while operating a cutting machine on April 5, 2009, CLW conducted an in-depth investigation of Yiuwah Stationary’s labor practices. In that investigation, CLW found that child labor is a widespread problem and that ignorance of work safety creates huge risks to occupational health and safety. Additionally, workers face inhumane treatments concerning excessive work hours, extremely low salaries and poor accommodation conditions. After the publication of the report, CLW wrote open letters to Disney and the members of the Stop toying Around Campaign launched a letter campaign towards Disney and also wrote to Disney. Disney investigated working conditions in Yiuwah and reported progress of improvements. According to the findings of CLW’s follow-up in-depth investigations, Disney’s remediation plan has made noticeable progress and yet has also failed in many ways. Through offsite interviews with workers of Yiuwah Stationary, CLW found: - The employer retains workers’ ID cards for 3 days upon recruitment; in direct violation of Chinese law. - No health examination or effective training was provided before workers were assigned to posts requiring workers to operate machines or face occupational hazards. - During peak seasons between January and February, employees are at the factory for at least 96 hours per week while working for at least 81 hours with mandatory overtime on Saturdays and sometimes on Sundays. - Employees are paid as low as $0.66/hour. - Many workers do not have social insurance. - Maternity leave is sometimes denied. - A case of workplace injury was found during the investigation. - Machines are not subject to regular maintenance. - Dormitory conditions are poor, with each room housing 10-14 workers on average. - Approval for resignation can be delayed for up to 2 months during peak seasons. In addition to these violations at Yiuwah factory, Disney has yet to address the larger, systemic issues that allowed these violations to go unnoticed in the first place. Disney’s auditing system consistently fails to detect problems, and it is no doubt once more responsible for poor follow-up on Yiuwah. When will Disney reform this failed auditing system and take responsibility for its suppliers before a major tragedy occurs again? More importantly, when will Disney begin paying more for goods so that the factories that produce them will not cut costs at the expense of vulnerable workers? Disney must follow up its work at Yiuwah and begin addressing larger systemic issues. I endorse the concrete corrective steps outlined by China Labor Watch to resolve remaining violations at Yiuwah, and expect Disney to make good on its word to implement a plan of action to end these abuses once and for all. Thank you. Sincerely,
