Samsung in trouble again over overtime (2)

"The worst situation is in a Samsung supplier factory called Chitwing Mould Industry (Dongguan) Co Ltd (in southern China), where workers' overtime hours surpass 220 hours per month. Workers there can work up to 15 or 16 hours per day with perhaps one day of rest per month," CLW said in a statement.

Samsung said yesterday that hotlines were being set up for workers at supplier firms for anonymous reports of any inhumane treatment or violations of labor laws.

The firm is reviewing 144 more suppliers in China and said the review would be completed by the end of this year.

Samsung also said that from next year, audits of its 249 suppliers in China would be conducted by an independent third party.
