CEREAL rejoinder to LG Electronics response
LG not only fails to address the issue of any help for Rosa and her family…but is sending a very disappointing message, stating that it is the responsibility of the vendor to offer compensation in accordance with the law. LG Electronics is a member of the EICC and, as such, has signed a Code of Conduct that clearly states that "Participants must regard the Code as a total supply chain initiative". The Code also "encourages Participants to go beyond legal compliance"…Rosa Moreno has been deeply affected; her life will never be the same. LG could and should take steps that go beyond legal compliance and should ensure compensation during her whole lifetime. Other companies have done this by including the worker in the payroll with a permanent position.
