Samsung has acknowledged poor working conditions at
its factories in China after a labor group said investigators found widespread
abuses.
An official at the South Korean company said Wednesday it
will start reevaluating its labor practices in China. The official said new
product launches and production lines have led to long hours of work.
The company was responding to China Labor Watch's
investigation of six Samsung-owned plants and two suppliers in China.
The watchdog said it found forced and excessive overtime,
exhausting working conditions that require most employees to work standing, and
other labor abuses at the eight plants.
