    “The employees are paid above average and have little to do,” Loening said, noting that the plant was only used for “technical commissioning and deliveries to dealers in the region”.

    “We were unable to identify any special security measures,” he added.

      Yeah this particular piece of data isn’t gonna go on top of my list lmao. Major corporate audits like this also frequently find that they’re not culpable for child labor when they are, shit like that.

    Is this one of those “the police department has investigated the police department and found no acts of wrongdoing”?

    Volkswagen has long come under pressure over its factory in Urumqi

    An audit commissioned by Volkswagen found no evidence of forced labour

    “The employees are paid above average and have little to do,”
