Supplier of Samsung accused of child exploitation

Proveedor de Samsung acusado de explotación infantil

It is estimated that Asia is the continent with the highest rate of child labor, and here are the companies that provide parts of devices like the iPhone and smartphones Galaxy. Apple insurance company is not the only criticism on the grounds of some workers, since apparently the great rival of Apple, Samsung, has been charged in a similar way recently. As reported by a Chinese activist group, the company HEG Electronics, provider of the South Korean firm, has children under 16 years in their factories, which work under conditions which are not appropriate, but that's not all.
It seems that these young people working in the same conditions as adults but receive only 70% actually pay their fair share for the type of work they perform. In addition, it is rumored that there were several accidents in the factory, but it appears that none of them was fatal.
No doubt these events what they do is create a bad name for the South Korean giant's technology. What do you think about it?
