“The BBC reports that prosecutors in Brazil are seeking damages from Samsung for conditions in factories where its mobile phones and TV sets are assembled, with employees reportedly forced to work long hours without sufficient breaks. Some said they suffer from problems such as backaches because they are forced to stand for 10 hours a day. Perhaps more alarmingly, prosecutors claim that employees at Samsung’s factories in the Amazon region are given just 32 seconds to assemble a mobile phone and 65 seconds to put together a Samsung television set. One worker is alleged to have packed as many as 3,000 phones in a day.”
