The report raises some important issues, most of which have already been discussed, by adidas Salomon with Formosa Evergreen and action plans agreed. The report is being used by the factory to focus on key issues for its own internal monitoring of labour, health, safety and environment issues. Supervisors are being trained to use appropriate management techniques, which do not involve harassment.
Workers report an improvement in the behaviour of the supervisors.
Complaints through the suggestion box system led to the dismissal of a quality controller. Some training has already been done supported by Nike. Agree that a system combining production bonuses and overtime payments should be developed. Overtime work is not needed on a regular basis at present and management have agreed with adidas that no more than one hour per day overtime should be worked. However management should confirm that workers are not penalised for failing to meet their quota or refusing to work overtime.
