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
