Ondrej Holzman UFoxconn uvumile ukuthi uqashe ngokungemthetho abasebenzi abaphakathi kweminyaka engu-14 nengu-16 ezimbonini zabo zaseChina. Nokho inkampani yaseTaiwan esitatimendeni ithe isithathe izinyathelo ngokushesha ukuxazulula lolu daba.
Isitatimende silethwe yiseva Cnet.com, lapho uFoxconn avuma khona ukuthi uphenyo lwangaphakathi lwaveza ukuthi intsha ephakathi kweminyaka engu-14 nengu-16 ubudala yayiqashwe efektri yaseYentai esifundazweni saseShandong. Laba basebenzi baqashwe ngokungemthetho, njengoba umthetho waseChina uvumela abasebenzi abaneminyaka engu-16 ukuthi basebenze.
UFoxconn uthe kuthathe umthwalo ogcwele ngokuphulwa komthetho futhi waxolisa kuwo wonke umfundi. Khona manjalo, isikhondlakhondla se-electronics saseTaiwan siqinisekisile ukuthi sizoyinqamula inkontileka nanoma ngubani owayenomsebenzi wokuqasha laba bafundi.
“Lokhu akukhona nje ukwephulwa komthetho wezisebenzi waseShayina, kodwa futhi kuwukwephulwa kwemithetho kaFoxconn. Okunye osekuthathwe izinyathelo ezisheshayo zokubuyisela abafundi ezikhungweni zabo zemfundo,” UFoxconn uthe esitatimendeni. "Senza uphenyo olugcwele futhi sisebenzisane nezikhungo zemfundo ezifanele ukuthola ukuthi lokhu kwenzeke kanjani nokuthi yiziphi izinyathelo okufanele izithathe inkampani yethu ukuqinisekisa ukuthi akuphinde kwenzeke."
Isitatimende sikaFoxconn size ngemuva kokukhishwa kwabezindaba (ngesiNgisi lapha) evela ku-China Labor Watch ezinze eNew York, evikela amalungelo abasebenzi eChina. Kwakuyi-China Labor Watch eyashicilela mayelana neqiniso lokuthi izingane ziqashwe ngokungemthetho kwaFoxconn.
“Laba bafundi abancane bebethunyelwa eFoxconn yizikole zabo, kanti uFoxconn ubengababheki omazisi babo,” kubhala i-China Labor Watch. "Izikole ezithintekayo kulolu daba kufanele zibambe iqhaza elibalulekile, kodwa uFoxconn kufanele asolwe ngokwehluleka ukuqinisekisa iminyaka yabasebenzi bayo."
Nakulokhu, kubonakala sengathi i-Foxconn ingaphansi kokuhlolwa okuqinile. Le nhlangano yaseTaiwan "idume" kakhulu ngokukhiqizwa kwama-iPhones nama-iPod e-Apple, kodwa-ke futhi ikhiqiza izigidi zeminye imikhiqizo engenalo i-apula elilunyiwe kuzo. Kodwa-ke, ngokunembile mayelana ne-Apple, i-Foxconn isiphenywe izikhathi eziningana, futhi bonke abavikeli bamalungelo nabamele abasebenzi baseShayina balinde noma yikuphi ukungabaza, ngenxa yokuthi bangancika kuFoxconn.
