This research was conducted from March to November 2000. All twelve factories were found to be manufacturing for Disney within this period. Some of them are regular suppliers, others are seasonal suppliers. Our researchers interviewed five to fifteen workers from each factory. Through this research, we found that most of the products manufactured in these factories are exported to the North American and European market.
Workers are mainly young migrant women.
Even worse, some of them are forced to work overnight in the peak season. Moreover, there are many unreasonable systems of fines in the factories. Some workers have to sleep on triple-decker bunk beds in overcrowded rooms. Furthermore, many factories do not respect occupational health and safety regulations. Workers have to labor under very dangerous conditions.
