2019-12-16 | Alphabet, Apple, Dell, Tesla, Microsoft exploit child labor to mine cobalt for batteries, human-rights warriors claim • The Register
'The US Department of Labor listed cobalt as a good produced by child labor back in 2009. '
'In 2016, human rights group Amnesty International published a report titled, "This Is What We Die For – Human Rights Abuses in the Democratic Republic of Congo Power the Global Trade in Cobalt."', "Apple's child labor prevention program, the complaint says, is typical in that it relies on letting people anonymously report labor abuses in a situation that makes such reports unlikely."
'"I have been fighting with Nestle and Cargill since 2004 over their use of child labor in cocoa supply chains of West Africa," said Collingsworth. '
'The Register asked Alphabet, Apple, Dell, Microsoft, and Tesla to comment on the allegations. '
