The National Labor Committee released reports last week of abuses in Chinese Disney book printing factory. The reports allege abuse, long hours, unpaid overtime and unsafe working conditions. Included are images of injured workers with smashed fingers and mangled limbs. At a press conference outside of a Disney store in midtown Manhattan the Director of the National Labor Committee issued a list of demands for the company:

[Kernaghan3] "Release the names and addresses of the factories you use in China to make the products that are sold in this store. Right now Disney hides these factories in China, so there's no way to know what's
happening. Disney says it has a corporate code of conduct. Disney claims it monitors that code of conduct to guarantee respect for women's rights and worker's rights, but that monitoring is a scam."

Disney has denied the allegations, but issued a statement ensuring a thorough investigation of the claims.
