This story comes from The Standard, a business newspaper out of China, about a report released over the weekend by Hong Kong-based Students and Scholars Against Corporate Misbehavior, accusing three Disney factories of "gross violation of mainland labor laws" and calling for "immediate action to halt the malpractices."

SACOM spokeswoman Vivien Yau Tze-wei said their new report proved that Disney's regular audits were "useless."

Yau said: "Workers are offered 70 yuan [HK$68.60] as a reward by the factories if they help them cover up the truth when asked by auditors.

"We have also followed up on the four factories whose workers we interviewed last year, but none of them had made any improvement in treating their employees."

Disney had said a year ago it would "take these claims very seriously" and would investigate them diligently after SACOM released its findings on the four factories.
