To Whom It May Concern:

 

 

 

This letter is regarding to your China-based supplier factory's management. I am a concerned consumer who wants to express my opinion after recently read a China Labor Watch's investigation report on your supplier factory, the Ju Won factory. After reading the report, I became very aware and concerned about the workers' situations in the factory. The workers are forced to work over the mandated work hours, only obtained the minimum wage and have no insurance.

 

I urge you would take your time to focus on your supplier factory's management and take immediate actions to improve workers' working conditions. At a minimum, you must:

 

• Commit to Ju Won as your supplier factory, do not simply seek a new location to produce your products.

• Impose no retaliation against workers who brought complaints to the factory or authorities.

• Compensate workers a living wage, not a minimum wage.

• Provide workers with insurance and pension.

• Impose fines on the supplier factory under violations in order to pursue a better work condition.

 

 

I am looking forward to hear the actions your company is taking in order to alleviate the issue of workers' exploitation. I believe that by using your considerable influence as the remedy, workers would soon be able to preserve their rights.

 

 

Regards,
