Labubu toy manufacturer exploited workers, labour group claims
AI Summary
A labor rights organization, China Labor Watch (CLW), alleges that a Chinese factory producing the popular Labubu dolls for Pop Mart is exploiting its workers. CLW's investigation of Shunjia Toys Co Ltd in Guangdong province, a core manufacturing facility for Pop Mart, revealed excessive overtime, incomplete contracts, and a lack of paid leave. Researchers interviewed 51 employees and found potential violations of Chinese labor laws, including the treatment of 16-year-old workers without legally required protections. CLW urges Pop Mart to take immediate action to address these issues, compensate affected workers, and ensure compliance with labor laws and international standards. Pop Mart has stated they are investigating the claims and will require corrective action if the allegations are substantiated.
