Companies investigated for child labour [Fiji]

The Labour Ministry is currently investigating three companies for alleged child labour practices...[while] one has been forwarded to the Labour Tribunal...[W]hile they are trying their best to tackle child labour in the country, some employers are continuing to breach the law...In the rural areas, making use of the teachers has been a good way of tapping into this problem and at the same time addressing it…They can…take the children out of work they are doing, talk to their parents and put them back in the classrooms.”…Individual employers breaching these conditions can be fined 10,000 dollars while corporations can end up paying 50,000.
