Quicksilver Industries: Difference between revisions

In 2010, a spate of suicides linked to low pay at a newly opened Quicksilver-owned industrial park in [[Mutsutori]] occurred alongside several additional suicides at various other locations and facilities. This incident drew intense media attention and became known as the [[Mutsutori]] suicides. A follow up report was done the following year on the anniversary of the event, which still found excessive hours and other problems that persisted, despite QSI's promise to reform factory practices. The [[Mutsutori]] facility was once again the subject of review, as journalists gained access to the working conditions inside through recruitment as employees. While the journalists maintained that the experiences of its reporters showed that labor violations were continuing since 2010, Quicksilver publicly disagreed with the report and stated: "We are aware of no other company doing as much as Quicksilver Industries to ensure fair and safe working conditions".
