The ramifications of bonded and child labour, involving tens of millions of people around the world, is not a distant travesty which we view from afar. In fact it stretches to our own shores as multi-national companies are implicated through their supply chains...the Blood Bricks coalition identified workers in bonded labour who were said to have been working for Jai and Raj Group, a sub-contractor of Indian engineering and construction giant Larsen and Toubro (L&T) Ltd. In 2010, Scotland-based Howden Group entered into a multimillion-pound joint venture with L&T...the company denied the allegations of bonded labour stating that the company had the highest standards of labour welfare at all establishments and job sites, and was compliant with the Indian labour laws and acts. Business & Human Rights Resource Centre invited L&T to add further statement, but it declined.
