Two labor rights watchdogs have accused Dell's China-based suppliers of exploiting factory workers, forcing them to work long hours in squalid conditions. In a report published Tuesday, Danish nonprofit DanWatch claimed that electronics factories in China's Guangdong and Jiangsu regions are employing underage workers, subjecting them to verbal abuse and forcing them to work up to 74 hours per week for well below the Chinese minimum wage. The report was published as part of a joint undercover investigation with China Labor Watch (CLW), marking the latest in a series of alleged labor abuses by Chinese suppliers of American technology companies. "When companies compete on supplying computers in the cheapest way possible, and when our public buyers aim for the cheapest wares on the market, a high human cost is paid," Eva Hesse Lundström, DanWatch editor, said in a statement this week.
