Santa's Workshop
SANTA'S WORKSHOP takes you to the real world of
China's toy factories. Workers tell us about long working hours, low wages, and
dangerous work places. Those who protest or try to organize trade unions risk
imprisonment.
Low labour costs attract more and more companies to China. Today more than 75%
of our toys are made in China. But this industry takes its toll on the workers
and on the environment.
The European (and American) buyers blame bad conditions on the Chinese
suppliers. But they say that increasingly hard competition gives them no option.
Who should we believe? And what can you do to bring about a fairer and more
humane toy trade?
