Page "Criticism of Walmart" Paragraph 51

Walmart has been criticized for not providing adequate supervision of its foreign suppliers.

It has also been criticized for using sweatshops and prison labor.

For example, in 1995, Chinese dissident Harry Wu charged that Walmart was contracting prison labor in Guangdong Province.

However, Walmart says it does not use prison labor.

There have also been reports of teenagers in Bangladesh working in sweatshops 80 hours per week at $ 0. 14 per hour, for Walmart supplier Beximco.

The documentary film Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price shows images of factories that produce goods for Walmart that appear in poor condition, and factory workers subject to abuse and conditions the documentary producers consider inhumane.
