But how is these toys made?
In January 2005 to April, we conducted a random survey to the 11 toys factories in Dongguan City, Guangdong Province and in August had a follow-up survey. These plants include: Chiron toys factory in Dongguan, McNair led the toys factory, Artin Toys Manufactory, Tung Yuk toys factory, toys factory Yi Sheng, the League of Nations Plastic Products Co., Ltd., Wei Wang Plastic toys factory, toys factory Longhua, along with toys plant, Lung Cheong Toys Factory, a leading toys factory. Most of these factories are Hong Kong-owned enterprises, its customers are mainly large U.S. toy distributors and retailers such as Wal-Mart (Wal-Mart), Hasbro (Hasbro), Mattel (Mattel), and the fast-food chain McDonald’s, Kentucky Fried Chicken and so on. In both surveys, we interviewed nearly 200 workers, extensive collection of payroll workers, the card records, etc., to these 11 plants for the window, Glimpse toy industry in Guangdong Province in general working conditions.
According to our survey, in addition to the basic off-season in the production of a factory to comply with Chinese labor law, the other 10 factories are a violation of labor law.
In respect of wages, the majority of toy factories to implement time-piece rate, that is, the provisions of certain production factory, workers in the time required to piece the number of production. Piece-rate wages through time, in fact, very much so that workers are forced to work in the ultra-labor intensity.
The cheap labor of Chinese workers can be seen through this case.So the clients who come to buy the products from china, don’t ask cheaper price everytime, you cheaper price means the toys factories and other factories workers need work harder and their salaries cheaper.
