Samsung apologizes for causing cancer to its factory workers

The South Korean manufacturer has always been famous for dedicating itself to the production of a good range of products, Samsung makes everything from smartphones to washing machines, inevitably passing through its extensive range of televisions, almost everything it manufactures with proven quality and reliability, but this very often it has a cost, we are talking about the human cost.

That is how Samsung will proceed to compensate with up to 116.000 euros to some of its employees in the factories who may have contracted cancer for this reason. It seems that once again, the powerful gentleman Mr. Money is able to make a heinous act seem pleasant.

More specifically, Samsung Electronics will be dedicated to compensating those who have worked in factories of LCD panels and semiconductors, and is that many of its employees claimed to have developed cancer by working in these factories.

We sincerely apologize to the workers who suffered illnesses and their families. We have not been able to adequately manage health risks in our semiconductor and LCD factories

These have been the words that Kim Ki-nam, the Co-President of Samsung has made public throughout a sincere and extended apology. However, it is not the first case of dubious legality at Samsung, we recall that President Lee Jae-yong has been found guilty of bribing former President Park for favors necessary to continue its expansion. This campaign against cancer in Samsung factories have detected around 80 deaths and up to 240 people who have suffered related diseases with work activity in Samsung factories. This scandal has been dragging on since 2007.

The conglomerate of relatives and former Samsung Electronics employees who filed the lawsuit and created an investigation commission has culminated in a pact through mediation services that will cover up to 16 different types of cancer suffered by workers since 1984 in its factories.

    Wow, it seems that Samsung is the only company where these cases have appeared, of course, as Apple is the sacrosanct model company throughout its history ...

      You should know that this has been an OFFICIAL statement from Samsung, which has reached the vast majority of Tech media in Spain and published in almost all of the world's media.

      When the news hits Apple, it will be published as we have always done. Greetings and thanks for reading us.

    I had to jump the typical suspicious who hates Apple. Well, of course Apple has done bad things, the fact is that others do too. Instead of criticizing the bad that Samsung has done, you dedicate yourself to criticizing that they have not said anything bad about Apple. Let's see if you mature and you are more objective. (Don't bother to start giving birth because I'm not going to read the comments anymore) 😉
