labor - Disney forces a factory to close

A supplier of The Walt Disney Company, Huangxing light manufactering in Shenzhen, was forced to close its factory, weeks ahead of Springfestival, and fired 800 workers, interlocals reports. The workers were not paid after their dismissal, the story says.
Disney cancelled all its orders after labor problems emerged at the factory last year and was described as a sweatshop. Common practise is that in those cases companies give their supplier one year and assistance is getting their practises in order.

common be honest...if in fact the Disney supplier was running a sweat shop why is it the responsibility of Disney to assist them in fixing their operation...that's just stupid thinking in a capitalist economy which is what China is now
