A new report from the US-based National Labor Committee accuses high tech companies of permitting dehumanising conditions in their supply chains.
According to CSR Asia the report, entitled "High Tech Misery in China ", focuses on companies using Meitai Plastic and Electronics, a keyboard supplier.
An independent audit is to be carried out by the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC), although a local government official has insisted that the factory is regarded as a model employer in the town.
Companies sourcing from Meitai include IBM, Microsoft and Lenovo.
