南非:当局发现非法经营工厂聘用童工和强迫劳动

[此中文翻译由企业责任资源中心提供]

“约堡工厂因在“恶劣”条件下雇用儿童和非法移民而被捣破“,2019年11月16日

鹰队和劳工部门本周在约翰内斯堡发现了一家非法经营的中国工厂,该工厂不仅雇用儿童和非法移民,还迫使他们提供极其廉价和强迫的劳动。在政府网站上发布的一份声明中,豪登省(Gauteng)劳动部门的首席检查员迈克尔·米萨(Adv Michael Msiza)说,捣破期间在场的检查员“感到震惊和厌恶”,因为这是“他们遇过最严峻的现场”。他将这次行动比作“现代奴隶制”,并说南非不会容忍这种行动。

“这种野蛮行为在我们这个维护和促进自由、平等和尊严的民主国家中不能存在。锁住员工并侵犯他们的就业权利,包括获得最低工资和获得社会保障的权利,使他们失去人的尊严。据说,来自马拉维的一群非法移民被关在深村(Village Deep)名为“美丽城市”的高铁门后面。工人的活动受限,预计每周工作7天,每天可赚取65南非蘭特。

…该工厂专门使用回收衣服来制作毯子的内部棉布。劳工部的声明说:“检查员发现未成年人士,据称年龄在15岁左右。”该部门表示:“雇主[据称]违反了一系列劳动法规,包括《全国最低工资法》,《职业健康与安全法》和《就业基本条件法》。” “ 申请请假时,他们被告知不用在回来。员工在不能居住的环境中居住。雇主没有向雇员提供有关薪酬的信息,他们没有合同。”
