So now we have the answer for how Toyota became profitable. They are CRIMINALS!

I think the larger ant company grows the more prone they are to use subcontractors. These subcontractors in turn may be the culprits. The fashion industry toils with this constantly as will the auto industry.

No wonder the Europeans have a hard time competing on price with Toyota Motor Corporation products. First it was unpaid overtime for its Japanese workers and now its sweatshops around Asia.

Oops, I should have read it more closely - they have sweatshops *in* Japan.



"(Toyota's)supply chain is riddled with sweatshop abuse, including the trafficking of foreign guest workers, mostly from China and Vietnam *to* Japan, who are stripped of their passports and often forced to work–including at subcontract plants supplying Toyota–16 hours a day, seven days a week, while being paid less than half the legal minimum wage. Guest workers who complain about abusive conditions are deported."

But there's something to understand here...

1) Toyota isn't the only one doing this...
2) When companies leave these kids alone, they're usually left with little help and suffer hunger with their family.

When people bring up such news, they have to consider their audiences and how much they understand (bad attempts to "save" these kids never have a happy ending). From what I have learned, those "Stop the Traffick" people only think about the short-term effects (children happily freed and returned to their parents after being sent by their OWN parents in hopes of earning money and food).

To sum it all up, people have to understand there's a reason for everything that goes on in our world.
Parents send their kids to these factories, so the kids would at least get something to eat. Even if the parents might not get any benefits because they still lack money, knowing that their kids are fed enough to make clothes for people in other parts of the world would be better than worrying about the torture their kids go through.

Disney calls it the "Circle of Life." Everyone has to understand that Toyota has managed (maybe unconsciencely) to give these trafficked kids something to live off of.

If someone our some groups of people out there feel that they can do better, please do...but before trying to make some sort of difference...don't run around accusing Toyota...or any other companies.

That's a lot that I said up there, but I hope you guys understand my point.

Michael Taylor.. You bring up WWII and make it seem like the Japanese were the good guys?

The Japanese raped, killed, hundreds of thousands of Asians and bombed their villages during their "expansionist period". Not to mentioned they killed more Americans than the Germans. All until an American pressed a button to put an end to it.

I urge you to finish highschool and wish you the best of luck in your American History class. Youre going to need it.

Here's some fine examples of European human rights practices. Old money is shady money.

Quandts famil fortune amassed through slave labour. (Star, that's the BMW family)
http://www.spiegel.de/international/germany/0,1518,511193-2,00.html

"The Quandts are one of Germany's last corporate dynasties that have not yet dealt with their past. They continued a deplorable tradition among German companies that had spent decades avoiding examinations of their past"

Here's a 2005 list of violators, surprisingly Toyota isn't on it when its not targeted. Ford Motor Company is though. Also a French water company and Nestle.

"Ties to Burmese dictators: Toyota, through the Toyota Tsusho Corporation, which is part of the Toyota Group of Companies, is involved in several joint business ventures with the ruthless military regime in Burma. The dictators use these revenues to repress and torture the people of Burma."




and if they don't stop business with them, they (and anyone else that supports the government, save total SA)and the dictators can shove it up their ass and I've witness poverty in many places there where my family lives. the government thinks that they know how to run s*** when many people are living in subpar conditions, e that the government is too reluctant to focus on, especially when many cyclone victims don't have shelter or the money to even start over.

The sad thing about this is that people start to accept it as NORMAL !!! Oh, it OK not to pay workers for 100 hours a week, they would be starving anyway. We might as well be back in the early 1800's here. Some people cannot see the wood for the trees, we the people are getting screwed so the big guys can get rich. CEO's making more than EVER and the average guy getting less and less. The clever marketing people make you think this is the way it should be. There is a happy medium somewhere and we have gone so far past it, it aint funny.

LOL, I bet all the German fanboys were licking their chops when reading the headline...

It's true Toyota should bare some blame here for not keeping a close eye, but they are indirectly responsible here, it was not Toyota who setup these poor working condition installations, it was the 23 Subcontractor plants who supply Toyota who set this up and should bear the full brunt, "they" setup shop and used the so called "Toyota Technology Cooperative" to bring the workers in.

Apparently, 2 and 3rd year workers eventually did receive the required minimum but for the first year they got much less. Japanese labor authorities even gave these subcontractor plants many warnings to no avail.

If you hire a contractor to remodel your home, and that contractor "subcontracts" the work to another contractor who apparently uses illegal workers from Mexico or Honduras and pay pennies to the hour, do you put the blame solely on the owner of the house? I think not!

Greed is prevalent in every fabric of our society, don't forget that. This is one of the ugly side effects of Globalization.

The fact is that no matter who the company is, it should cause ourage by everyone.

Now "IF" the report is true then public outrage should be levied against the subcontractors by Toyota and the public at large.

"IF" the report is unfounded, then the National Labor Committee should be held accountable for thier transgression against Toyota.

These are serious charges that need to be addressed.

Just as Germany destroyed the lives of so many other people in Europe during the wars and in Africa during colonialization.

So, due to your belief that Germans are wonderful people then it's okay that they tried to conquer the world? I happen to also believe that the Japanese, among many other groups of people are wonderful too. You just have to open you eyes and experience life to understand.

Star,
What's the difference in bringing people to your country and exploiting them vs exploiting them in their own country? Are you less guilty if there are fewer cameras and activists around?
Yes, Toyota is guilty, but no more guilty than the rest of the corporate world.
Name me one corporation in any industry that doesn't outsource and take advantage of slave labour.
Here are some German autoparts suppliers.
Tantivy Automotive - China
CME Brakes Co. Ltd - China, supplies Audi/VW
Wenzhoo Six-S Auto-parts Co. Ltd - China, supplies BMW, MB, Opel
Shanghai Heri Auto parts Co. Ltd - China, BMW X5 parts
Bharat Forge Ltd. - India, supplies DaimlerChrysler.
I'm sure working conditions in these factories are even better than over here right?

Once again, when your #1, everyone guns for you.

Here, read how VW tried to violate labour law in Mexico back in 2001 (not quite 60yrs ago).
http://www.labournet.de/branchen/auto/vw/mexico3.html

Guess what sort of wages illegal aliens get paid when they jump over the border. I guess America still has slavoury too.

If you want to learn something, watch the movie "The Corporation".

damikco,
Unions are notoriously overpaid, hence why they're losing so much support by bitching about being paid so well.
If a coffee barista and an assembly line worker were both paid minimum (or $30/hr), which job would be more popular? I bet the Barista, and they have to learn more to perform their job properly.

Especially with the 2 Toyota vehicles I have right now. 06 Camry.. a/c went just after the warranty expired (60k km), and steering wheel jiggling back and forth while becoming more violent the higher speed you go,.. and 04 Corolla.. fit and finish issues and rattles that cost $600 to get repaired. Car sometimes shakes violently (and I mean VIOLENTLY) when coming down from highway speeds. It will shake terribly even at a complete stop after you have brought it down from speed.

I like hondas better than toyotas anyway. except for the delsol and vigor, it's obvious that honda engineers love cars and driving. Those asimos are cool too. maybe toyota should replace thier slaves with asimos.
hell, asimos could build my clothes and stuff and i wouldn't have to feel guilty about buying any of the stuff that comes from china/pakistan/vietnam/thailand. it's hard to find stuff that isn't made over there. built by slaves just for you and your individual tastes, special needs and preferences. toyota too

evilm,
You're just pissed that I pointed out your German car was built by the same kid who builds Toyotas.
I'm an illegal alien eh? nice comeback, couldn't think of anything else?

autopro,
You must be an "economist". China just raised its gasoline prices because they can nolonger subsidize the prices due to the weak dollar (and the RMB). Manipulating their currency is a double edged sword. If the currency floats, the jobs go elsewhere, if not, their nestegg loses value sitting there.
A superpower (or socalled ruler of the world) doesn't rely on anyone else (and should also be self sufficient), and doesn't wait until someone else invents something before they clone it.
You ever notice China's brightest minds don't achieve greatness until they go to the west?
