Ford Motor Company says it has delivered another record year in China, not only in terms of sales, but also with the ongoing introduction of a pioneering program that helps improve the standards and working conditions of companies in its supply network.
"Our goal is to have all of our suppliers in China participate in this management program" said Mei-Wei Cheng, chairman and CEO of Ford China. "Ford sees it as our direct responsibility to ensure that each of our partners are providing their staff with a legal and decent work environment and working conditions. It's a part of doing good business and we're willing to make an investment to help achieve this"
I believe that western businesses are doing more for the Chinese worker than all the labor laws passed by the government. Western companies provide structure, management, better wages, social insurance and a safe working environment. Chinese companies typically provide none of these. So all those idiots out there screaming about Nike taking advantage of labor in China and elsewhere should get on a plane and tour both facilities before passing judgement.
