And now this:JAKARTA – The US Department of Labor has put Indonesian nickel on a list of products made using forced labor, a potential significant setback for the Southeast Asian nation’s bid to become a key global supplier of coveted battery materials for both Western and Chinese firms.
The report, which has no immediate legal or regulatory ramifications, cites press coverage and various reports by NGOs on working conditions in the nickel smelters concentrated on the islands of Sulawesi and Maluku in eastern Indonesia.
Owned and operated in partnership by Chinese and Indonesian firms, workers from both countries crew the industrial parks where they allegedly face arbitrary deduction of wages, violence, forced overtime and constant surveillance. Chinese workers also face the confiscation of passports and restrictions on their movements.
