So, neither Subaru nor Fuji Heavy Industries employs these people, but rather some of their suppliers.
Not condoning what's happening here, or saying that Subaru is without blame (or the opposite for that matter), but I don't get this kind of journalism. Why aren't they naming the guilty companies, rather than the large well-known company they sell their goods to? I know they named one of them in the article, but most people only read headlines plus a paragraph or two.
This reminds me of all the hate against Nike in the 90's: Nike pays laborers only 9 bucks a day (don't remember the exact figures)! Nevermind that Nike was paying twice what local companies pay...
Information without context is pretty worthless.
Having said that, Subaru should probably be more selective in who supplies them. And these suppliers should be the ones crucified in the headlines, not Subaru.
Edit - sounds like most of the suppliers are doing shady things. Could be rock and hard place for Subaru, Toyota, Nissan, and Honda, who apparently all use the same suppliers.
