Amazon has promised to investigate Foxconn over claims the manufacturing giant had hired school children to build Alexa devices.
: Amazon is investigating reports that Foxconn hired teenage school children as “interns” to help keep up with production of Alexa devices. Labor activists claim the children worked overnight and overtime in breach of local labor laws.
Those working on Echo and Echo Dot devices were required to work for two months to meet production targets when the firm reportedly struggled to employ permanent workers. Teachers were paid to accompany the students, and were encouraged to make uncooperative teenagers work extra hours and through the night. The students were paid for the additional hours, Foxconn said.
