Review:

GE is closing light bulb manufacturing plants in Ohio and moving contracts to joint ventures in China. GE claims it cannot afford to produce CFLs in the US. Policy Matters Ohio argues conditions in China violate the GE Code of Conduct. Report discusses how conditions violate Chinese labor law. There is also concern over workers' health as they are dealing with dangerous levels of Mercury.
