Press conference round table 'Fair Electronics'

Philips, HP, Sony, other big electronic brands and telecom providers are meeting in Amsterdam this week with labour organisations and CSOs for a round table on working conditions in the electronics sector. Well known participating CSOs are the Fair Labor Association, the International Metalworkers Federation, SACOM and the Dutch Initiative on Fair Trade...Some of the most important objectives for this round table are: stimulating (informal) cooperation between CSOs and the electronics sector, discussing initiatives (like that of the FLA with Apple and Foxconn [part of Hon Hai] in China), and to define a common ground in problem analysis and in possible actions regarding the round table's themes.
