Human Rights and Money

I read this from Yahoo! News: 港女生「推倒」深工廠招怨 (http://hk.news.yahoo.com/070213/60/21s7a.html)

It is also quoted from the ESWN website with the link to Nanfang Daily. The workers claimed that because of the publishing of a Hong Kong university student about the poor working environment of their factory, Disney decided not to place orders to their factory and it caused the wound up of the factory. They felt that because she published the news which is disadvantageous to the factory which caused the wound up. The manager of the factory said that the requirement from Disney is not applicable to China. Personally I do not think the requirement of Disney is unreasonable. These requirements include the following:

调查报告中的整改措施要求企业员工在公共场所摆放的卫生用品要无限制供应。“比如肥皂等，你不限制地无偿使用，一放出来，马上会被工人拿走。”

另外，整改措施要求员工工作期间离开工作岗位，不需要进行登记。也不可以对员工进行小额罚款。而企业认为这在现实中不可实现。员工去上厕所等很正常，但是，如果按照此整改措施，员工一天去5次厕所，每次半个小时，这让企业很难进行管理。

I guess these could be done by improving the processes... maybe educating the factory's management with the appropriate management skills and the concept of human rights it'd help China more. Now the workers' concept is that they have to live. The concept from Disney is that they have to have a quality life...

It's making me more interest in learning more about Human Rights. It recalled a book I read a few years ago about Child Labour: Free the Children
