Student workers at Dongguan factory were under-age, state media claim
\nThe electronics factory located in Dongguan employed about two hundred minor laborers and those young individuals were rescued and reportedly sent on their designated home following a revelation by media in the region.
\nBased on Guangzhou Daily, they had eleven working hours and each hour costs them 8.50 yuan (HK$10.67) and they used illegal records in order to grab the job.
\nAccording to newspaper reports, the one hundred ninety two “student workers” from Dongguan Gang Gu Electronic were able to go home through buses and were able to return in their communities, commonly in Hunan and Guangxi provinces.
\nThe organizations supporting the rights of workers said that child labor is very rampant in the area and feature the issue to substandard failure at the level of city government.
\nThe head of Guangdong Panyu Migrant Worker Centre in Guangzhou, Zeng Feiyang said that a factory that employs minor laborers must give them a salary as a charge amounting to 5,000 yuan in every person. However, there is no truth that these factories are charged. Rather, they were condemned by officers, relatively because there so many who are involved in the case.
\nThe representative of Hong Kong-based China Labour Bulletin, Geoffrey Crothall, approved on this. He said that the city government is not driven sending groups for investigation in the factories until media reporters perform the mentioned secret investigations.
\nDr Liu Kaiming, chairman of the Shenzhen-based Institute of Contemporary Observation also added that most of the junior graduates in secondary school living in rural areas decide to find jobs instead of studying in school.
