Pay Rosa Moreno the compensation she deserves
Dear Boo-Joon Koo and your team. Mrs Moreno worked really hard, and with a low salary to make flat-screen televisions for us to consume and enjoy. Due to an accident in one of your factories in Mexico, she has to have both her hands amputated. She has 6 children, and so far the only compensation she has had amounts to £15,000. We should not show such contempt for any worker, and she deserves enough money to maintain herself and her children. I ask you to show some compassion and accept that you not only care for your shareholders and consumers, but for your workers too.
Why is this important?
LG, like any other corporation should be aware of the conditions their products are made. They should take responsibility and treat them like humans. They are, like many other, using human lives like cannon fodder for their shareholders. It is time we make them know that we care about how our products are made. A livelihood has been destroyed for the sake of another TV, and LG are not even interested.
