Last week,
Anticap denounced a case of child labor in
Berden Laboratories' factory in
Mabhuti. A new report from the NGO TRW reveals interesting yet alarming facts...
It appears that John Fund Equity Partners (JFEP) was the initiators!
Apparently, JFEP CEO ordered a report on the factory in Roukarta (Mabhuti) to Beneto&Beneto. At this time, Berden Laboratories were facing serious financial problems and wanted to relocate a part of their activity.
The report (signed by Beneto&Beneto CEO Carlo Jibuit himself!) stated that theMabhuti factory was an interesting target because Mabhuti offers reliable workers and allows child labor in exchange for a small wage. It argued that teenagers typically worked to help their family.
Berden Laboratories claimed that these teenagers were well treated and were "only" working 20 hours a week. They also created a foundation to pay for their studies.
But isn’t the aim of a foundation to give something without asking something else in return? Why not just hire the parents of these poor teenagers and still pay for their studies?
Yet, it seems that the true power is in the hands of JFEP. EricDumonpierre is not the charismatic leader he used to be. He does not seem to be making the decisions anymore.
Capitalism has struck again and it is dirty! Anticap joins forces with John Milton from TRW to fight against these malpractices. Let's rally against John Fund Equity Partners!
Just say "No more" to capitalism!
