Sony's Forced Labor Problems
Sony uses Forced Labor Without Us Knowing
Sony Uses Forced Labor Under our PSN Accounts
Sony is one of the bad companies because they are using forced labor. The people who have to make Sony products are college students in Japan and other parts of Asia. To begin, Sony started to use college students for forced labor recently so the factories could lie to the college students of getting their college degree. Some of the students that are working in the factories are committing suicide so they don't have to work at the factories. Next, students do not know that they are working under a lie. The factories tell the students that they are working for their college degree. Finally, these students are forced to make PlayStation4s and the games for it. The students who can't take it but, are not committing suicide try to get people know they are being forced to work. The college students claim that they work blood and tears into the PlayStation4 and other Sony products.

Use munchies to do the work
Not make kids dig for battery acid
Thinking before making the idea
