Samsung’s Apologizes – Offers compensation for Deaths and Illnesses

A few weeks back I published an article about Samsung’s War at Home – https://gavinsgadgets.wordpress.com/2014/04/26/samsungs-war-at-home/ . If you didn’t read this post, it is well worth a read.

Now in a public statement, Samsung Electronics CEO Kwon Oh-hyun said “several workers at our production facilities suffered from leukemia and other incurable diseases, which also lead to some deaths.” Kwon said Samsung would make “appropriate compensation to those who were affected and their families,” after activist groups claimed hazardous working environments caused some employees to contract lethal diseases. “We should have settled the issue earlier, and we are deeply heartbroken that we failed to do so and express our deep apology.”

Just a little too late for those who have lost their lives or are terminally ill.
