Adidas Clothing Company

The "southerly Institute" of the International Development Policy Institute recently published a research report on three big German Enterprises --

Aldi

Metro and

Adidas clothing

The company has criticised and accusation that their business in China seriously violated the rights and interests of Chinese workers and called on them to shoulder their social responsibilities to China.


According to the report of the south wind Research Institute, a factory in Guangdong which produces textiles for the company has an overtime workload of up to 130 hours per month, and often works overtime without charge.

Two shoe factories in Fujian, which make shoes for Adidas, work overtime every month for up to 92 hours.

Migrant workers working in Metro supermarket can not take maternity leave, and they can not enjoy certain social benefits.


In response to this report, three German companies named after the list responded.

A spokesman for Adidas said in an interview with the South German newspaper that Adidas will take criticism seriously and verify it.

Metro said in a statement that the company has always been committed to implementing the labor standards of the International Labour Organization as fully as possible in the Chinese market.

Hardi also partially acknowledged the bad situation, but the German biggest retailer said it was difficult to find out which supplier was having such a problem with a general description. The company always worked with suppliers to improve the social welfare and labor standards.


In response to these big businesses, the German N-TV television commented on the program titled "the retail giants on the humiliation column" that Foxconn is not a single case, and German companies are letting workers in China.

Overwork overtime

But companies pretend they don't know.
