Samsung creates committee to inspect plants linked to cancer
2016-01-12 09:36:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Samsung Electronics will create an independent committee to monitor working conditions at its semiconductor facilities, writes Bloomberg. The ombudsman committee was created together with victims of leukemia and other work-related diseases, and a local civic after some court cases established that its workers developed rare cancers and other illnesses at its semiconductor facilities. The move comes after Samsung announced a KRW 100 billion (USD 83 million) fund in July to compensate victims and fund preventive measures. Samsung publicly apologised in 2015 to its ill workers and to the surviving family members it battled in South Korea's courts over a period of nine years.
